Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez makes it to Sundance after all, by Skype, for premiere of documentary about her underdog election win

Park City • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t attend the 2019 Sundance Film Festival premiere of the documentary about her underdog election win in person, but she was at the screening in spirit — and via Skype.

The Democrat who represents New York’s 14th district received rousing cheers, and the documentary a standing ovation, at the MARC Theater in Park City Sunday night. Her face was projected on the theater’s screen after the showing of “Knock Down the House,” piped in from Washington, where she opted to stay to work in the aftermath of the partial government shutdown.
