Just in case Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t getting enough media coverage, Netflix will soon be streaming a documentary:

The documentary also revolves around three other progressives:
Netflix has acquired worldwide rights to “Knock Down the House,” an award-winning documentary that chronicles the campaigns of four progressive candidates — @AOC @CoriBush @amy4thepeople and @paulajean2020 — in the 2018 midterm election. pic.twitter.com/s8YGoDKHsf

And, somewhat fittingly, it reportedly cost Netflix a pretty penny:

That’s an awful lot of money for a doc about somebody who’s anti-greed, but maybe Netflix figured “you just pay for it.” Meanwhile, it has to be asked:
So where do I have to give out my Netflix login information so those less fortunate, you know, the ones unwilling to work, can enjoy it?

Will it be free, @netflix ? Free subscriptions to everyone not willing to pay?

We’re sure our great commenters will have some title ideas, and other people had some thoughts on this as well:

Birdbox sequel anyone? https://t.co/NF5Q8V0eJz

A show about somebody trying to re-design an entire nation’s economy while blindfolded could be entertaining.
