Knock Down the House (2019)

Though this doc ostensibly follows four outsider women running against established democrats in the 2018 primaries, it felt like more than half its time was dedicated to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It pretty much was edited into a "how AOC came to be" documentary with a side of (literal) also-rans.

But I'm not complaining. Not only is she magnetic, she's also prepared. Despite her nerves and her inexperience, she never comes off as powerless. Though her opponent's compliment of AOC's "energy" was definitely a backhanded one, she has it in spades. It's an inspiring look at a little campaign that could. Hopefully there will be more to come.
