Netflix hosted a screening of The Perfect Neighbor, a critically acclaimed 2025 documentary directed by Geeta Gandbhir, at The Roxy Hotel in New York City on January 6, 2026. The film was followed by a heart-wrenching conversation with the filmmakers, moderated by Nikole Hannah-Jones.
The film reconstructs the 2023 shooting of Ajike Owens by Susan Lorincz in Ocala, Florida, and raises critical questions about "Stand Your Ground" laws and systemic racism.
Geeta does an incredible job of transforming multi-year police evidence into a feature film which is constructed almost entirely from police bodycam footage.
