Review of Slacker Uprising (2007) by Greg S — 25 Sep 2008

As the first full length movie that has been made available to download for free, I took advantage and did just that. While I am disappointed that this movie isn't like Mike's conventional documentaries, there are some important things to note.

First, this was done before the 2004 election with the goal of getting more people out to vote. This says that while Mike was trying to stop the Bush administration in 2004, he was ready to try to hit a larger audience this year.

Unfortunately, it seems the people downloading this will be those that are already in the age group he appeals to. I was bummed that this is just Mike in front of a lot of people for almost two hours, but at the same time it gives me hope that maybe something can be done this November.

It makes me think that maybe I can make a few phone calls to friends to make sure they're voting. In that sense, it's a good watch. And frankly, since it's free, its worth downloading. Be sure to check it out.
