1:13:03
And l still find it
very hard to believe

1:13:04
that you have become
a changed person.

1:13:06
l had always heard
that to be hypnotized,
you had to be willing.

1:13:09
ls there something about
the way you were raised,
in your view,

1:13:12
that made you
vulnerable to this?

1:13:13
And yet
she was still being asked,

1:13:16
uh, what in her background
1:13:18
had led her to become
essentially a hostage.

1:13:21
(Snyder)
what did lead you
to become a hostage,

1:13:23
if we can-- if we can now
ask the question?

1:13:25
Does it go back beyond that
to your childhood,

1:13:27
that you were
a susceptible person?

1:13:28
No.
1:13:29
See now what you're doing,
you're doing what--what
made me so angry.

1:13:33
You know,
because we don't say
to the hostages in lran:

1:13:36
''what in your-- what in
your background led you

1:13:39
to--to be in that embassy?''
Yeah.

1:13:40
(Snyder)
The situations are not
nearly comparable.

1:13:42
(Steinem)
They are. lt's force.

1:13:45
(Damiano)
Linda needed somebody
to tell her what to do,

1:13:51
And as long as
she had somebody
telling her what to do,

1:13:53
she--she was happy.
1:13:55
So when she
made the movie,

1:13:56
she was happy
making the movie.

1:13:58
After the movie,
somebody said,

1:13:59
''Hey, you shouldn't have
made that movie.''

1:14:01
So she became unhappy
about making the movie,

1:14:03
which wasn't true.
1:14:05
She was very happy
about making the movie.

1:14:13
(Hopper)
Linda's new fame as
a crusader against pornography

1:14:16
culminated with her testimony
before the Meese Commission
in 1986,

1:14:21
(Lovelace)
My ordeal still goes on,

1:14:23
The film Deep Throat
still shows

1:14:25
and virtually every time
someone watches that movie,

1:14:27
they're watching me
being raped.

1:14:30
(Hopper)
Once again,
the government had set out

1:14:32
to determine
the effect of pornography,

1:14:34
This time,
instead of relying on
scientific data,

1:14:37
they relied on
personal testimony

1:14:39
to prove that pornography
was a social evil,

1:14:43
well, the other day
my 8-year-old son said to me:

1:14:46
''Mommy,
if this country is so great,

1:14:48
how come people
are still hurting you?''

1:14:50
(Jon Lewis)
It's sort of like
the Oprah Show.

1:14:52
lt's, um, much more anecdotal.
Much less professional.

1:14:55
So what Nixon starts
in the '60s and '70s

1:14:58
by stacking the court,
