Where No Flag Burns (1969)
https://youtu.be/kblFVVbEz4I
Running time: 18 minutes
Synopsis During the nationwide campus disorders of the late 1960s and early 1970s, BYU students maintained their composure and conformed to the standards set by the Church and the University rather than to those of the militants of the day. It's a different kind of university here at Brigham Young, a private school with nearly 24,000 students on campus. At a time when students everywhere seem to be on the warpath, Brigham Young University is undisturbed. It has never had a serious demonstration. There are no "hippies" here. Everybody dresses up to go to class. Beards are a rarity and you don't see any miniskirts. There is no smoking on campus. Rules against drinking include not only alcohol but even tea and coffee. "Elsewhere they burn the flag or ROTC building," one university official remarked. "Here we are expanding our ROTC, and everybody stands and faces the flag when the national anthem is played mornings and evenings." The reason Brigham Young is different is that it is run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) and conforms to Church policies. Ninety-five percent of BYU's students and 99 percent of its faculty and staff are Mormons. The discipline of their religion affects almost every university activity.

This review works best if you have seen this film before, though that is not required.
Final Thoughts Shows the contrast between many institutions of higher education in 1960s in which students want to tear down racism, challenge white priveledge, upend patriarchy, and eliminate hate for homosexuality, with BYU where it would take another generation to even begin to address those issues and where LGBTQ is still a huge issue.
