Netflix Finalizes Acquisition Of Sundance Prize Winner ‘The Perfect Neighbor’, Plans 2025 Release


Netflix has acquired 'The Perfect Neighbor,' the Sundance prize-winning documentary directed by Geeta Gandbhir.

In 2023, Susan Lorincz, a white woman, fired a gun through her locked door, killing her Black neighbor, Ajike “AJ” Owens. “ The Perfect Neighbor is a deeply personal project, created to transform grief into purpose and honor the lasting legacy of Ajike Owens and her family,” Gandbhir said in a statement. Gandbhir said she decided to build the film around police video after the footage was obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request by attorneys for Owens’ family.
