Knock Down the House
Directed by Rachel Lears
Produced by Atlas Films, Artemis Rising
An inspiring documentary following four grassroots female political candidates as they challenge the establishment, balancing intimate character study with the tension of electoral stakes.
In 2018, a young bartender in the Bronx, a coal miner’s daughter in West Virginia, a grieving mother in Nevada and a registered nurse in Missouri join a movement of insurgent candidates challenging powerful incumbents in Congress. Without political experience or corporate money, these four women are attempting to do what many consider impossible.
