NEW YORK - Inspired by Neil Young and Radiohead, Michael Moore will release his new film online and for free.

The film, “Slacker Uprising,” follows Moore’s 62-city tour during the 2004 election to rally young voters. It will be available for three weeks as a free download to North American residents, beginning Sept. 23. An official announcement of the film is planned for Friday.

Moore said he considered releasing “Slacker Uprising” theatrically as “Michael Moore’s big election year movie” as he did with 2004’s “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which was highly critical of President Bush.

Instead, Moore opted for a symbol of gratitude to his fans as he approaches the 20th anniversary of his first film, 1989’s “Roger & Me.”

“I thought it’d be a nice way to celebrate my 20th year of doing this,” Moore said. “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.”

    Michael, I thank you for what you do, you make a difference! You are a bright light in the dim, puritanical, conservative and hate-filled dark corners of our country.

    He is great, but I still think he is a dick for what he did to Charleston Heston.

    Why only to North Americans? Discriminatory racist.

    The reason why it will only be available for download in the States is because he is saving us the embarrassment of other countries seeing how poorly our government treats it's own citizens.

    Not to mention the problem of discussion only exists in the United States. Most other developed countries, to which he visits in the film, have hold of their medical system.

    This movie will open your eyes and make you think twice about paying that Health Care Premium every month.

    Hopefully enough people will see this movie and get inspired to participate in the political process.

    He sure did all right with his other films. I bet you think Al Gore's film was a bust too. Keep deluding yourself why don't you.

    I'm sure he's taken this into account and I'm sure the film will draw parallels with this year's election - but suddenly a feature on voter mobilisation 4 years previous, seems really dated and a little bit irrelevant?

    The dumbass at least knows people aren't going to pay for his anti-American filth.

    It is good to know there are people like Michael Moore in this world of greed. Thank you Michael Moore for all you have done and contributed to the cause of peace, decency, and common sense.

    Now here is a "TRUE PATRIOT" of the land of the star n stripes. It's just not good enough anymore for people to usurp this label all because they were told to pick up a gun and fight.
    A true patriot should be someone who can evaluate and if necessary re-evaluate any notion or command that certain scenario exists as it's been told. I can only hope in the event that quality education is non existent a humane moral rational disposition hopefully would prevail.
    So take heed, middle America and all red necks therein the world at large is not out to get you. They all would just like to get 'a piece of the pie'. Watch the film and I bet it'll further enlighten as previous others that have come from Mr Moore.

    It's a shame it'll only be available for downloading in the US.

    And to think he seemed such a fan of us Brits and our healthcare system when he filmed Sicko.

    *sigh*

    Sicko was an awesome movie.

    Michael Moore always exposes problems in America and areas that can be improved....and Republican haaaate that!

    Democrate: "We can do better!"

    Republican: "No, don't change a god damn thing. Ever!"

    If this new movie is as good as Sicko I'll be a happy camper.
