Reaction To Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 Film:

"Before the movie started, Leslie Hanser prayed.

'I prayed the Lord would open my eyes,' she said.

For months, her son Joshua, a college student, had been drawing her into political debate. He'd tell her she shouldn't trust President Bush. He'd tell her the Iraq war was wrong. Hanser, a 41-year-old homemaker, pushed back. She defended the president, supported him fiercely

But Joshua kept at her, until she prayed for help understanding her son's fervor.

Emerging from Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' her eyes wet, Hanser said she at last understood. 'My emotions are just.... ' She trailed off, waving her hands to show confusion. 'I feel like we haven't seen the whole truth before.'"
