The meaning of freedom

The Rencontres de Crans-Montana is a new organization formed in February 2016 with the aim to create cultural projects. The association is looking for freedoms within the constraints of everyday life. How do we deal as individuals with the limitations of our society, in which we are confronted daily with attacks on hard fought freedoms, terrorism, intolerance and an increased global poverty.

In the landscape of protective mountains and surrounded by the peaceful setting of Crans-Montana we talk to artists, businessmen, local and national politicians and the local population about the meaning of freedom, passion and the experience of life.
