**Producers**: Nikon Kwantu, Geeta Gandbhir, Alisa Payne, Sam Bisbee **Vidiots** and **Netflix** invite you to a special theatrical screening of Geeta Gandbhir’s searing documentary ***The Perfect Neighbor***, followed by a conversation with Director/Producer **Geeta Gandbhir,** Producer **Nikon Kwantu**, Producer **Alisa Payne**, and Executive Producer **Sam Pollard**, moderated by **Eugene Hernandez**. Award-winning filmmaker Geeta Gandbhir’s new documentary film reveals the fatal consequences that can occur when individuals feel emboldened by the law to act on their fear and prejudice. For years, disgruntled neighbor Susan Lorincz calls the police on the children who play in the vacant land next to her Florida home. Initially, the kids and parents commiserate with local law enforcement about her antics. But her increasing hostility takes a sinister turn, culminating in a devastating crime. With striking humanity and unflinching clarity, *The Perfect Neighbor *is told almost entirely through police bodycam footage, bearing witness to an intimate community contending with their ongoing nightmare. The chilling escalation of events leads to Lorincz shooting Ajike “AJ” Owens, a beloved and vibrant mother of four. Owens’ killing sparked a reckoning throughout the United States about controversial state laws like “Stand Your Ground,” which can allow individuals to use deadly force if they feel their life is in danger. Doors will Open at 12:00pm, Screening will start at 1:00pm with conversation to follow. Please note that this screening is first-come-first-served, and your RSVP does not guarantee entry.
