Michael Moore's Slacker Uprising

For the past twenty years celebrated filmmaker Michael Moore has made some of the most controversial, subversive and groundbreaking documentaries in cinema history. In his film debut Roger And Me he relentlessly took on the big wigs at General Motors. Bowling For Columbine successfully tackled the problem of America’s increasingly violent gun crime. Fahrenheit 9/11 revealed the frightening truth behind one of the world’s biggest tragedies and Sicko managed to intelligently raise awareness over the U.S.A’s profit orientated health system. In Slacker Uprising Captain Mike faces his biggest challenge yet: an attempt to convince a whole jaded generation to vote and remove George W Bush from office. During the 2004 elections Micheal Moore jumped on the campaign trail with a vengeance. Over the course of 42 days he rallied through 60 cities within “battlefield” states with the aim of inspiring young people to reclaim their country for the good of common man and common sense. Even when facing arrest Moore would stop at nothing in his pursuit to promote freedom, from passionate, insightful speeches to handing out free noodles and clean underwear. Slacker Uprising is a highly entertaining and insightful film created with integrity.

    Worth trying!

    If you're a fan of Moore's other documentaries, then there is enough here to entertain you, even if the subject matter is a little out of date by now. The film follows Moore as he attempts to influence the outcome of the 2004 US presidential election by encouraging the non-voting 'slckers' to vote for anyone except Bush! Although it ultimately ended in failure, it's interesting to see the galvanising effect the 'cause' had both on the 'slackers' and the pro-Bush lobby, including the blocking tactics employed by the Republicans to prevent Moore's lectures and the way he got around them! Full marks to Moore for the effort, even if it didn't work.
