Oscar-winning film-maker Michael Moore is set to release his new film for free via the Internet.
Moore, 54, said his latest documentary Slacker Uprising, about young voters at the 2004 US election, will be made available for download later in September.
Moore, who is credited with making three of the top five highest-grossing documentaries of all time - said he's releasing the film online as a thank you to fans and to commemorate his 20 years of film making.
"I've been very blessed and fortunate to have so many people come to my movies over these two decades, I decided the way to say thanks was to make one that the fans can have for free, as a show of my profound appreciation of their support," Moore said.
The 97-minute film follows Moore as he travels across 62 cities in swing states during the 2004 presidential election.
Moore said he hopes the film will encourage younger generations to vote in the November 4 presidential election.
“The only return any of us are hoping for is the largest turnout of young voters ever at the polls in November," he said.
The film, which cost about $2.5 million to make, will be available for North American residents to download for three weeks from September 23 via the website SlackerUprising.com.
