Controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore will be releasing his newest film exclusively online beginning September 23. The documentary "Slacker Uprising" follows Moore's 62-city tour of the swing states during the 2004 Presidential election as he rallies young voters to show up at the polls.
The 97-minute film will be available in high-resolution, free download in North America. Those who are interested in watching the film can visit the Web site SlackerUprising.com to sign up for the download in advance of its September 23 online release. The download is being distributed by Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films and it is being offered by BlipTV.
Moore says none of the parties involved will make any money from the film, which had a budget of just over $2 million. "This is being done entirely as a gift to my fans," said Moore. "The only return any of us are hoping for is the largest turnout of young voters ever at the polls in November." The download will be available for three weeks and will be released on DVD on October 7.
The film features appearances or performances by Eddie Vedder, Roseanne Barr, Joan Baez, Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine), REM, Steve Earle, and Viggo Mortensen.
