The 2018 midterms saw a record number of first-time female candidates who ran for office and won. In a documentary investigation of this shift, three congressional candidates in Texas, Indiana, and Illinois serve as case studies. As each looks to flip their red districts to blue, the filmmakers explore whether this trend is a moment in women's political history, or a true movement. —SHOWTIME
