Overview
- Released October 17, the Sundance‑lauded documentary reportedly topped Netflix’s global movie chart over the weekend and currently holds a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.
- The film is constructed almost entirely from police bodycam, doorbell/CCTV recordings and recorded calls, with much of the material obtained via public‑records requests by the family’s legal team.
- Critics and viewers describe the documentary as devastating to watch, with widespread social posts urging caution due to the raw institutional footage.
- At its core is the 2023 killing of Ajike “AJ” Owens by neighbor Susan Lorincz in Ocala; Lorincz was convicted of manslaughter in 2024 and is serving a 25‑year sentence in Florida.
- Owens’ family has a pending wrongful‑death lawsuit filed in July 2025 and continues advocacy through the Standing in the Gap Fund.
