"Who Is My Neighbor?" is an educational short film focused on promoting awareness and encouraging citizens to be vigilant during the war. It tackles the issue of national security, particularly the importance of keeping an eye out for potentially suspicious behavior, and informs people about the threat of espionage and subversion within their communities.

The film portrays a scenario where individuals—ordinary, everyday people—are encouraged to observe their neighbors' actions and report any unusual or suspicious activity. While it may seem innocuous, the underlying message was to create a heightened sense of awareness and to inspire people to work together for the common good during wartime.
