Synopsis

Four exceptional women mount grassroots campaigns against powerful incumbents in Knock Down the House, an inspiring look at the 2018 midterm elections that tipped the balance of power.

When tragedy struck her family in the middle of the financial crisis, Bronx-born Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had to work double shifts as a bartender to save her home from foreclosure.

After losing a loved one to a preventable medical condition, Amy Vilela didn't know what to do with the anger she felt about America's broken health care system.

Cori Bush, a registered nurse and pastor, was drawn to the streets when the police shooting of an unarmed black man brought protests and tanks into her neighborhood.

A coal miner's daughter, Paula Jean Swearengin was fed up with watching her friends and family suffer from the environmental effects of the coal industry.

On the other hand, some tracks in the soundtrack of Knock Down the House felt repetitive and uninspired. While the music effectively underscored the key moments in the film, there were instances where the same motifs were used excessively, diminishing the impact of certain scenes. This detracted from the overall viewing experience and could have been improved with more diversity in the musical composition.
