Stars Appear in ‘Pitch Perfect’-Inspired Video in Support of Hillary Clinton

PHILADELPHIA — Democrats don’t appear to be too worried about going “too Hollywood,” what with the prospect of facing a reality TV star in November’s election.

That was apparent with the debut of a new video, “Fight Song,” featuring stars such as Aisha Tyler, Alan Cumming, America Ferrera, Elizabeth Banks, Eva Longoria, Idina Menzel, Jane Fonda, Kristin Chenoweth, Mandy Moore, Renee Fleming, Rob Reiner and Sia. They sing their support to Clinton to Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song.”

The video was inspired by the “Pitch Perfect” movies, and was produced by Banks, Bruce Cohen and Mike Tompkins.
