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.

Something good to come out of Netflix. Fingers crossed 2026 is 2018 but better.

This documentary had such impact on me when I was 16 that I obsessively started following every step AOC took. And rightfully so, she came a long way. Had to rewach after this election because I'm not sure wtf that was.
