The Perfect Neighbour is a devastating and brilliantly crafted documentary. It lays bare how “stand your ground” laws in the US embolden prejudice and violence. The injustice, the entitlement, and the truly tragic, senseless loss of life will leave you reeling.

Director Geeta Gandbhir and Editor Viridiana Lieberman constructed the entire narrative almost entirely from hours upon hours of real footage including police body cams, ring doorbells, and CCTV, rather than traditional interviews or voiceover. The result is an immersive, unflinching, and deeply unsettling portrait of a tragedy unfolding in real time.

They've crafted an urgent, essential piece of filmmaking, one that’s doing more to ignite conversations about gun control and racial injustice in the US than most recent mainstream “entertainment”.
