Show Notes

Oscar-nominated director Geeta Gandbhir joins INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE to discuss her powerful new documentary, THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR.

In this in-depth conversation, Gandbhir explores the real-life story behind the film, the moral complexities at its center, and the responsibility of documentary storytelling in today’s cultural landscape.

Inside the Making of THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR- Oscar Nominee Best Doc Feature

Constructed almost entirely from police body camera footage, THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR examines a tragic neighbor dispute that escalates under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law — revealing deeper issues of race, fear, gun culture, and the American legal system.

In this in-depth interview, Gandbhir discusses the ethical responsibility of building a film from body cam footage, the cultural climate that shaped the events, and what she hopes audiences take away from one of this year’s most urgent Oscar-nominated documentaries.

Is THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR the most provocative documentary of awards season?
