Actress Elizabeth Banks comes out and tries to energize the crowd. She compares her role in the movie "The Hunger Games" to events at last week's Republican National Convention.

But then she gets serious. Says she thinks about this election and how it affects her family.

Actress Banks says she first learned of Hillary Clinton by attending a rally for Bill Clinton in 1992. She introduces a video about Hillary Clinton's life.
