Overview

• People reports the film omits personal context about Ajike “AJ” Owens, including her role as a working mother of four and a McDonald’s manager in Ocala, Florida.
• The documentary is constructed almost entirely from police body-camera and security footage, a choice the director says was meant to ensure authenticity and reframe how such recordings are perceived.
• Lawyers for Owens’s mother, Pamela Dias, secured police body-cam, security, cellphone video and phone-call audio via Freedom of Information Act requests, according to The Guardian.
• Susan Lorincz, the neighbor who shot Owens on June 2, 2023, was convicted of manslaughter in August 2024 and sentenced to 25 years in November 2024.
• Owens’s family filed a wrongful-death suit on June 1, 2025 against Lorincz and landlord Charles Gabbard seeking at least $50,000, and they launched the Standing in the Gap Fund in November 2024 to support families and advocate changes to Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.
