Slacker Uprising

Slacker Uprising is a documentary film that was written, directed and narrated by Michael Moore. Moore released the project free on the Internet on September 23, 2008. He says that Democrats are his target audience and states, "This film really isn't for anybody other than the choir, but that's because I believe the choir needs a song to sing every now and then."Wired.com: ...Moore to Release Slacker...

Michael Moore filmed his journey to college campuses in 2004. He staged a gathering of performers and speakers and encouraged young Americans to vote. Eddie Vedder, Joan Baez, Roseanne Barr, R.E.M., and Viggo Mortensen were on hand to entertain the crowds. The tour began in Elk Rapids, Michigan and covered 62 cities.

Regarding the free release: "I thought it'd be a nice way to celebrate my 20th year of doing this. And also help get out the vote for November. I've been thinking about what I want to do to help with the election this year."Wired.com: ...Moore to Release Slacker... (September 4, 2008)
