The filmmakers who made the new Netflix documentary “Knock Down the House” began shooting four first-time female Congressional candidates a year ago. We speak with one of those candidates: Democrat Amy Vilela. She ran for Nevada's 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House, and lost the primary on June 12, 2018.
