In May, Netflix will release a documentary that follows four progressive, female candidates as they fought to unseat the Democratic establishment during the 2018 midterm elections. Titled "Knock Down the House," the film focuses on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Amy Vilela of Nevada, Cori Bush of Missouri, and Jean Swearengin of West Virginia. "Without political experience or corporate money, they build a movement of insurgent candidates challenging powerful incumbents in Congress," the film's website reads. According to Ocasio-Cortez, the documentary includes footage that she and the other three women agreed to shoot during their campaigns. The documentary isn't Netflix's first foray into politics, with Barack Obama and Michelle Obama also having entered a multiyear agreement to produce new films and shows with Netflix.
