Flint woman stars in newest Michael Moore documentary

Flint woman stars in newest Michael Moore documentary: "FLINT, Mich. (AP) � Lila Lipscomb was not someone who would consider herself an anti-war protester.

But the Flint resident and her late son � who died serving with the U.S. Army in Iraq � are playing key roles in Michael Moore's new movie, 'Fahrenheit 9/11.'
The documentary is a scathing attack on President George W. Bush and the war against terrorism. It won the top prize last week at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in France and, like Moore's other movies, has earned the praise and denunciation of critics.
Lipscomb, a 49-year-old office assistant, is on-screen for 20 minutes of the 110-minute film. In it, she tells of the death of her son, Sgt. Michael Pedersen, a 26-year-old crew chief who died in a Black Hawk crash in Iraq on April 2, 2003. She tells of her pain, how her views about the war came change and of her disdain for Bush."
