anatomy of ordinary crimes (2025)
Directed by Adina Sadeanu
Production: Adina Sadeanu/Axis Media Production (Romania)
Documentary Feature (90 mins)
The reality of online violence unfolds through the deeply human, interconnected stories of four women — three from Romania and one from Belgium — whose lives are irrevocably changed by cyber violence and abuse. Despite coming from different cultures and generations, these women recognize their shared experience and unite to break the silence surrounding the “ordinary crimes” of online violence, hate, and sexual abuse. The film reveals how a collective mentality continues to turn a blind eye to this trauma, refusing to acknowledge it for the sexual abuse that it is. Their fight for justice becomes, at its core, a struggle to reclaim their fundamental rights to dignity and privacy.
