Knock Down the House
Watch TrailerAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Bronx waitress, prepares to challenge a powerful incumbent in a Democratic primary. Her journey intertwines with three other women from across America who, lacking political experience or corporate backing, decide to take on the political establishment. The camera trails them from doorstep to living room to rally stage, capturing raw moments of doubt, exhaustion, and fleeting triumph. This is less a story about an election and more a chronicle of personal transformation and the stubborn belief that change can come from the ground up.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film sidesteps dry policy talk to focus on the human cost of running. It shows us not candidates, but people—exhausted, uncertain, yet fiercely determined.
What lingers after the credits is a profound sense of the personal stakes in our political process. It’s a testament to the exhausting, often heartbreaking labor of democracy itself. — MovieFinder Editorial
