Follows 4 candidates, but AOC is the obvious star here. She's magnetic, prepared, and never comes off as powerless despite her inexperience.

Very interesting, and shows a raw portrayal of what it’s like running a grassroots campaign. Could be more focused, but very good.

Underdog stories you can get behind. I really like the movement. Business plays way too big of a part in our government.
