Political rally at Pristina Gymnasium by the LDK (Lidhja Demokratike e Kosovës, the Democratic League of Kosovo), 27 September 2000. Crowds gather outside: cars drive past sounding their horns and flying Albanian flags. Second cameraman (possibly Lance Corporal Jim Martin) can briefly be seen walking alongside, as the camera is moved into the stadium (shaky shots, largely obscured by the close proximity to the crowds).
