Скачать или смотреть Geeta Gandbhir on ‘The Perfect Neighbor’ and Its Oscar Nomination | DGA Awards

At the 78th DGA Awards, I spoke with director Geeta Gandbhir about her powerful documentary The Perfect Neighbor — a film born out of personal tragedy and a commitment to justice.

The project began as an independent film after the murder of Ajike Owens, a family friend. Gandbhir and her team worked to bring attention to a case that wasn’t receiving national coverage. After premiering at Sundance and winning the Directing Award, the film was acquired by Netflix for global distribution.

We discuss:
• How the documentary came together through FOIA bodycam footage
• Working alongside attorneys Benjamin Crump and Anthony Thomas
• The decision to partner with Netflix for global reach
• The film’s Oscar nomination
• Honoring Ajike Owens’ legacy

A deeply moving conversation about storytelling as activism and ensuring the world knows her name.
