Anthracite: The Secret Sect of the Box, out Wednesday, April 10 on Netflix, stars Noemi Schmidt as Ida, an eccentric and ultra-connected geek who spent her childhood isolated from others due to leukemia.
As a child, he was bombarded with news programs to fill his days. So it’s no surprise that once an adult, he continued to indulge his passion and became a fan of web browsing. But what is this?
What is web sleuthing?
Born on the Internet across the Atlantic, web sleuthing (from the English “Sleuth“which means”detective”) brings together an online community that discusses criminal or disappearance cases to help investigators solve them.
Although this type of practice is not new, the rise of the Internet and social networks has opened a new window for these apprentice investigators who organize themselves on forums such as Reddit or Websleuth. They attack most often”cold case”, that is, cases that are suspended or closed without further action due to the lack of concrete evidence.
For example, in 2012 it was web researchers who helped arrest Luca Magnotta. A hunt that was highlighted in the documentary series Don’t Fight Cats, available on Netflix.

Web intelligence was also the starting point for Fanny Robert and Maxime Berthem, creators of the Anthracite: Sect of Affairs mystery, whose story is inspired by real stories. The two screenwriters wanted to talk about this phenomenon through the character of Ida.
“We wanted to take an interest in the topic of web-saluting: the idea of investigating a sectarian environment arose very quickly.Maxim Bertem confided. “The genesis of the project is our love for true crime and newsFani Robert explained at the press conference.
“We love Netflix’s documentary series that almost border on fiction. We wanted to create a strong piece of fiction set in the French landscape. There is no reason why Americans can create extraordinary cities and we can’t. I wanted to show that Twin Peaks It can exist here too.“
