Slacker Uprising

This is a new film by Michael Moore and is available free for download on the internet. The aim of him in this new film was to turn out as many first time voters as possible. Even though it's not that applicable to Singapore in the sense that we do vote if we have to (i.e. contested!), I suppose it's still relevant when we consider the number of blank votes we have in each election. It's free, so just download and looksie right?



If you're not in Singapore, here are the links to download from via the email signup:

P.S. Remember, we're doing something that's never been done, so I have no idea how it will all go! Don't give up if it seems to go slow (like with any streaming, give the downloading a head start before you hit play), and don't forget there are two places where you can actually download it to your hard drive and three ways to stream it. You can get to all of them at the link above.

P.P.S. If you're not yet registered to vote, here's a good link: https://www.voteforchange.com/.

If you're in Singapore, torrents are available: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4409927/Slacker_Uprising_Michael_Moore_[2008]_Official

Even if it's a one-sided account, I'm sure it'll be entertaining nonetheless. :)
