Soledad O'Brien's latest documentary project is The Perfect Neighbor. This documentary examines Florida's Stand Your Ground laws and gun regulations. The film is in final negotiations to be acquired by Netflix after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival.
The film, which debuted to critical praise, uses police body-cam footage to tell the story of how a neighborhood dispute slowly escalated into a shocking act of violence. It follows a tragedy that captivated national attention, one in which a woman named Ajike "AJ" Shantrell Owens was shot and killed by her neighbor, Susan Lorincz, after Lorincz kept complaining about children playing near her apartment.
The Perfect Neighbor was seen as one of the most accomplished and powerful documentaries to play at the festival and is believed to have awards potential.
Geeta Gandbhi directed the film and had a personal connection to the story. Owens was her sister-in-law's best friend. Soledad O'Brien serves as an executive producer.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 19 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.8/10.[
