Michael Moore hoping for a Slacker Uprising

Michael Moore has annouced plans to release his latest film as a free download (but only to residents of Canada and the US). Slacker Uprising follows the director's tour through a number of US states during the 2004 election and is intended to act as a spur to persuade younger members of the American electorate to go out and vote. It will be interesting to see if it can have the desired effect on a generation who have been labelled apathetic about politics - although personally, I think the same can said about a lot of older people too, but that goes beyond the scope of this blog.
