Planet of the Humans, the latest film from Michael Moore (technically directed by his pal Jeff Gibbs, but produced and backed by him), has been released for free this Earth Day.

Update: Films for Action, the distributor of Planet of the Humans, has pulled it from distribution due to its misinformation. (It's still up on Moore's YouTube page, though.)
