Charles Sanders at a television advertisement shoot for his senatorial campaign at UNC Chapel Hill. After some discussion with the crew, Sanders delivers a campaign speech in front of a chalkboard. He discusses his background, why he is running for senate, and critiques the incumbent, Jesse Helms. During most of the recording, he takes questions from the audience, who seem like members of the press.
