In this hard-hitting review, we dissect the documentary The Perfect Neighbor (2025), directed by Geeta Gandbhir, which follows the June 2023 killing of Ajike Owens in Ocala, Florida and poses powerful questions about racial bias, unchecked grievance, and the controversial application of stand-your-ground laws. We’ll walk through how the film uses body-cam and 911 footage, why critics say it plays like a “documentary horror film,” and whether it succeeds in sparking the systemic change it demands.
