There is a quiet revolution taking place in the United States of America. Everyday citizens, compelled by the stark vileness and wickedness that is Trump and his policies, have awakened and have decided that the status quo will no longer do. People from all walks of life have decided that enough is enough and are running for office. In “Knock Down The House,” documentarian Rachel Lears tells the story of four progressive female candidates; Amy Vilela, Cori Bush, Paula Jean Swearengin and NYC’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who were all challenging incumbent Democrats for their congressional seats in the 2018 midterm elections. The film is a must watch that just might inspire a new generation of progressive leaders. Available NOW on Netflix.
