Michael Moore is hitting Trump supporters with a nice surprise just in time for Election Day. Moore revealed Tuesday that his new film Michael Moore in TrumpLand would be making a last-minute premiere at the IFC Center in New York City that evening. The best part? Tickets for the surprise event are absolutely free:

The film is loosely based on a one-man play that Moore was originally planning to run in Ohio, Deadlinereported. However, according to Moore, the higher-ups involved with mounting the performance ultimately deemed him "too controversial" for such a thing. Peep the official synopsis of TrumpLand below, per IFC:

Moore had been teasing the project in recent days, referencing The Crucible and promising the nation an "October surprise."

Though not as down-to-the-wire, Moore took a similarly well-time approach with the release of his 2004 documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The film, which premiered at that year's Cannes Film Festival and ultimately bagged the Palme d'Or, took an incisive look at the George W. Bush White House and the oft-criticized invasion of Iraq in 2003:

Michael Moore in TrumpLand is expected to begin theatrical screenings nationwide as soon as Oct. 19 and will also be available on iTunes.
