While the documentary allots Ocasio-Cortez the most screen time, it resists elevating her into the figure of the lone liberal savior. Ocasio-Cortez is flanked by the documentary’s three other subjects, fighting the same fight — albeit in different landscapes.
Knock Down the House stages four re-enactments of David and Goliath. Cori Bush of Missouri, Amy Vilela of Nevada, Paula Jean Swearengin of West Virginia, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
"Though AOC is undoubtedly the documentary’s star, Knock Down the House also illuminates the network that supported her candidacy. In fact, for a liberal-minded viewer, that may be the most hopeful takeaway of Knock Down the House. The documentary indicates the existence of an infrastructure designed to place more progressive candidates in office. That infrastructure is currently gearing up for 2020."
