It’s not the first time the politician hit the headlines in recent weeks, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had the best response when she was called ‘unlikeable’ in the press.

In Knock Down the House, director Rachel Lears follows four working-class, progressive Democrats: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Amy Vilela, Cori Bush and Paula Jean Swearengin as they pound the streets in their attempts to get elected in the primaries (where voters indicate their preference for a candidate), all challenging established and powerful male incumbents in the process.
