The Perfect Neighbor
Introduction
In the U.S., Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law permits the use of deadly force if there is a presumption of fear. But how do you measure whether someone's 'fear' justifies another person's death?
Made almost entirely from police bodycam footage, Netflix's 2025 documentary The Perfect Neighbor chronicles the neighborhood conflict that led to the killing of Ajike Owens, a mother of four.
The film was produced and directed by Geeta Gandbhir, an Emmy Award-winning documentarian, and won a Directing Award at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.
It was also shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards.
