Going behind the scenes with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three other insurgent House candidates in the engrossing documentary 'Knock Down The House.'
"Knock Down the House" captures Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during her campaign and historical election victory.
To create a successful documentary film it’s at least as important to be lucky as it is to be good, and director Rachel Lears has been both. By being there at the start of what has already become a legendary career, she captured lightning in a bottle and now shows us the very genuine person behind the media firestorm.
Cori Bush, a registered nurse and ordained pastor galvanized by the events in Ferguson to run in Missouri. “The time is always right,” she says, “to do right.” All these women, as well as Ocasio-Cortez, were recruited to run by the groups Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress, both dedicated to giving representation to the working class by finding an alternative path to Congress for non-career politicians.
Filmmaker Lears lives in Brooklyn, and because the project didn’t have a lot of funding early on, spending time with a fellow New Yorker — in fact getting Ocasio-Cortez on film more than a year before her historic primary victory — made economic sense.
