Geeta Gandbhir has made history as the first woman to receive Oscar nominations for both Best Documentary Feature and Best Documentary Short in the same year. Her feature-length film, "The Perfect Neighbor," looks at the case of Ajike Owens, a 35-year-old Black mother of four who was fatally shot in 2023 by her white neighbor. Her documentary short, "The Devil Is Busy," chronicles a day on the frontlines in the battle for reproductive rights at a women's healthcare clinic in Atlanta. Gandbhir spoke with Democracy Now! ahead of this year's Academy Awards to discuss her two films and how art and politics intersect.
