On Thursday the film won the coveted Sundance Festival Favorite Award, beating out 120 other films screened at the festival.

The film, directed by Rachel Lears, follows 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman elected to Congress, during her campaign for a seat in the House of Representatives in the 2018 midterm elections.

It also follows the campaign trails of three other progressive female candidates: Cori Bush, Amy Vilela and Paula Jean Swearengin.

Bush is running for Missouri's 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House in the 2020 election. She lost the 2018 primary for the seat.

Vilela was running as a Democratic candidate for Nevada's 4th Congressional District seat in the House, and lost in the 2018 primary.

Swearengin was a Democratic candidate who ran for West Virginia's Senate seat and lost in the 2018 primary.

Hulu, Amazon, Focus and NEON also fought for the rights to the documentary

Knock Down the House started out out as a Kickstarter project. The filmmakers raised $28,111 to bring the film to life using the fundraising page.

Nearly every distributor tried to lock down the rights to Knock Down the House including NEON, Focus, Hulu and Amazon, sources told the news outlet.

But Netflix came out on top, splashing out millions.

Amazon did not seem to be a fit for the film as Ocasio-Cortez has been critical of the company's sweetheart deal to build a headquarters in New York near her 14th District.

Netflix also splashed out nearly $3million on another documentary called American Factory which follows a Chinese billionaire opening a factory in Ohio and clashing with working-class America.
