**** FACTUAL AMERICA PODCAST ****

What happens when the Israel-Palestine conflict spills onto the streets of New York City? Posters, propaganda, and outrage turned the city into an unexpected battleground — and the story behind it will shock you.

We sit down with Nim Shapira, the director of TORN: The Israel-Palestine Poster War to uncover the hidden conflict tearing NYC apart. From torn posters and viral street battles to debates over antisemitism and free speech, this is a raw look at how global tensions can play out in everyday life on the streets of America.

In this episode, we dive into the making of Nightmares of Nature, the hit Netflix nature documentary that turns the lens toward the eerie, emotional, and often terrifying side of the natural world. We speak with Charlotte Lathane to explore how the filmmaking team blended horror aesthetics with real wildlife stories, creating a show that challenges how we see the planet.

The Perfect Neighbor documentary tells the shocking true story of Ajike “AJ” Owens, a Black mother of four who was fatally shot by her neighbour Susan Lorincz in Florida. In this exclusive interview, director Geeta Gandbhir and Pamela Dias, Ajike’s mother, discuss how the film reconstructs the tragedy through police body-cam footage, 911 calls, and interrogation tapes. They unpack how a neighbourhood dispute spiraled into violence, exposing the failings of Florida’s Stand Your Ground law.

Director Geeta Gandbhir reveals why she took a “show-don’t-tell” approach, letting raw institutional footage speak for itself, while Pamela Dias shares her grief, courage, and fight for justice. Together they reflect on how The Perfect Neighbour turns personal loss into a broader story about gun violence, race, and accountability in America.
