In the spring of 2016, Emmanuel Macron, then minister of the government of François Hollande, launches his  »On the Move! » movement. This name is heavy with meaning. This is an injunction: you should move if you want to get out of it. Some weeks before Emmanuel Macron was elected President of the French Republic, the photographer Vincent Jarousseau had settled up in Denain, a small town of 20,000 inhabitants in the north of France, to follow the daily life of families from popular backgrounds for which mobility is not always a solution. For two years he gave voice to people who are most often invisible in media representations, and tried to show the fractures threatening our democratic model. He offers us a documentary-like photo story where everything is true. Each statement was recorded and transcribed word for word. The Roots of Anger tell the daily life of a France that is not  »on the move ».

Vincent Jarousseau was engaged in the social field before turning the page two years ago to devote himself to documentary photography. Since the summer of 2014 he has been working, together with the historian Valérie Igounet, on a project about cities governed by the National Front. He regularly works for the press (Libération, Le Monde, Les Échos).
