FILE - Filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi, left, and Nancy Pelosi, right, attend"Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet to Come" in New York on Sept. 15, 2016. Documentarian Alexandra Pelosi is releasing a new film focusing on her mothers rise in Congress over three decades. The film follows her mother, literally, through the Capitol and into the behind the scenes as she negotiates key votes for major pieces of legislation.
“There’s a thread from the very first time they started taking ads out against Nancy Pelosi and turning her into a witch and turning our last name into a curse word. You can follow that thread 20 years later to my parents’ doorstep to my father getting attacked,” Alexandra Pelosi said in an interview with The Associated Press.
The film includes extended clips recorded as Pelosi and other congressional leaders are rushed out of the Capitol and evacuated to Fort McNair, a nearby Army base. It captures frantic leaders calling the defense secretary, attorney general, then-Vice PresidentSome of the footage was played during a hearing of the House panel investigating the attack on the Capitol. Alexandra Pelosi and her team provided the footage to the committee.
Among those historic moments: discussion about whether to move the entire Congress – all 100 senators and 435 members of the House – by bus to Fort McNair and convene the joint session there to continue the certification of the election. Less than two years after that attack, a man broke into the Pelosi family home in San Francisco, roused the speaker's husband and reportedly demanded"Where is Nancy?” Officers arrived at the home after Paul Pelosi called 911 and they arrested the intruder, David DePape. He, including some that questioned the results of the 2020 election, defended former President Donald Trump and echoed QAnon conspiracy theories.
