The point of “The Perfect Neighbor” is to show how devastating and manipulative the effects of “stand your ground” laws can be, giving cover to those whose motives might not, in fact, simply be self-defense. After Owens’s death, Gandbhir shows protesters mourning the loss and questioning law enforcement’s treatment of Lorincz compared with that of Black people in similar situations. And through interrogation-room footage, we listen in on Lorincz’s conversation with the authorities, which involves racial slurs and language clearly lifted from the “stand your ground” law as well as Lorincz’s insistence that trauma from her own childhood sexual abuse caused her to feel afraid. There’s no editorializing here, but we can see just how much of what she’s saying is actually true. (Lorincz was ultimately convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 25 years in prison.)
