Anatomy of Indifference
Justice isn’t broken—it’s working exactly as designed. In Romania, a victim advocate, two reformist prosecutors, and an investigative journalist fight to reform a system where bureaucracy routinely takes precedence over human life, especially that of girls and women. A cinematic dissection of systemic apathy, Anatomy of Indifference is an ode to the rebels fighting to dismantle this from within.

Anatomy of Indifference explores the challenges and possibilities of strengthening survivor-centred justice in cases of child sexual abuse. By highlighting real-world efforts to improve legal and institutional responses, the film aims to foster discussions on trauma-informed judicial training and effective prosecution practices.
