This short documentary covering the 2016 Presidential Elections was broadcast on the French News channel M6 on Nov 04-2016. M6 was interested in discovering whether some French people were involved in the electoral campaign: canvassing, fundraising, supporting either the Trump or Clinton team. I did both jobs for Clinton. You will see me here in action with Théo Chino.
Report was shot in the Upper West Side on Amsterdam avenue in the Latino section.
“Is Trump No More Than a Brand Bubble?” by Frederic Colier

“The Power of Off,” By Nancy Colier
(Sounds True Publishing, $16.95)
Effective mindfulness practices for transforming your relationship with technology and reconnecting with your real life.

You’ll explore:
With The Power of Off, Colier sounds the call for wakefulness, reminding us that we can use technology in a way that promotes, rather than detracts from, our well-being. This book provides an essential resource for anyone wanting to create a more empowered relationship with technology in the digital age.
