'The most powerful part of the new AOC documentary is watching Ocasio-Cortez doubt herself,' via thelilynews
‘Knock Down the House’ highlights a ‘historic’ move toward showing more vulnerability in CongressAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez is sitting barefoot on the sofa in her apartment, making circles with her outstretched arms. It’s June 2018, a few weeks before her primary against sitting congressman Joseph Crowley, and she’s being filmed for the documentary ““I need to take up space,” she says, closing her eyes. “I need to take up space.”“I can do this,” she says. It’s more of a question than a statement.
“In the past they would have been advised, ‘Never talk about your kids. Never show any emotion on the campaign trail,’ nothing like that. But [leading up to the 2018 election], there was some kind of broader shift happening,” says Lears. “There have been times when I’ve wanted to quit,” she says, looking straight into the camera. “This is a hard thing, especially when I look at my life, right, the things that we were able to do, the traveling, the hobbies, all of that stuff. And some days, it gets to you.”
Social media makes all of this openness possible, says Fischer Martin, giving candidates and officials the tools to show as much of themselves as they’d like. It’s now normal for lawmakers — particularly the younger set — to post videos of themselves on Instagram or Facebook. Ocasio-Cortez filmed herself making Ikea furniture; Sen. Elizabeth Warren filmed herself“My sense is that most of [the newly-elected congresswomen] are quite young,” says Lawless.
