Michael Moore's SLACKER UPRISNG available online !

by Simon Laperriere, September 25, 2008 10:14 AM


For free and legally ! As a gift to his fans and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Roger and Me, Michael Moore put his brand new documentary on Internet to download. He does admit the American elections coming soon have something to do with his decision. I'm not sure he's telling the truth when he claims it's the first time a director put a feature film for free online thought, any of you guys heard of a predecessor ?

The download is only available for United States and Canada's residents, but you can also order a DVD with exclusive extras for ten dollars.

Thanks for reminding me on this. I am going to download it and buy the DVD. I didn't vote until I was 30 and I will never miss an election no matter how big or small. I am not too jaded or cynical to believe our single voices make up a louder chorus.

"it’s the first time a director put a feature film for free online" - it's shame he can't be bothered to name check some of the brave people that have already done this. I look forward to watching it but there's a difference between a commercially successful director taking a punt with their picture online when they can afford the cost of production as a sunk cost versus a Arin Crumley & Susan Buice who racked up $100k personal debt to make Four Eyed Monsters and then pushed so hard to put it online for free while trying to carve out never done before deals on the trad. distribution side. I'd say they fully broke the mould.

He could at least put up a legal torrent for all the non US/CN residents. But I guess this whole "for free" is more of a publicity stunt than anything else...
Sorry for thedouble post.

I just wish this was a better film. I saw this at Toronto in 2007 when it was called "Captain Mike Across America" and let's just say that putting it online for free is the "right price."

Last feature film I saw online free was America Freedom To fascism, about the corrupt tax system in America! Great Film!

Sorry MM you have never been original and countless other would be exposers have twisted facts and displayed them as truths longer than you have been around!
