Slacker uprising

Award-winning filmmaker and author Michael Moore conducted a "Slacker Uprising Tour," a 62-city tour of the swing states during the 2004 U.S. Presidential election. Moore's goal was to convince millions of non-voting "slackers"--Mostly between the ages of 18 - 29 -- to give voting a try. The free downloadable video is "the first major feature-length film by a noted director to debut for free via the internet," which Moore says he is doing as a gift for "fans" in honor of the 20th anniversary of his first film, "Roger & Me."

""Traces Michael Moore's 62-city tour of the swing states during the 2004 presidential election and records the thrilling, and frightening, response he received across the country. Moore's goal was to convince millions of non-voting 'slackers, ' mostly between the ages of 18-29, to give voting a try. Starting out in Elk Rapids, Michigan, in front of an audience of 400, the tour caught on like wildfire with up to 16,000 slackers each night coming to see Moore and his traveling band of speakers, comedians, and musicians. To encourage the slackers to show up, they were offered a clean change of underwear, free Ramen noodles, and a promise that no event would start before noon and no politician would be allowed to speak. These enticements filled basketball arenas and concert halls every night on the Slacker Uprising Tour. Along with Moore's appearance, Slacker uprising features live performances or appearances by Eddie Vedder (of Pearl Jam), Roseanne Barr, Joan Baez, Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine), R.E.M., Steve Earle, and Viggo Mortensen"--DVD sleeve."
