Dennis Nyback presents an illuminating and entertaining look from deep inside the Mormon world with a collection of ultra-rare Mormon educational movies. Wetzel O. Whitaker’s Man's Search for Happiness (1964) tells you just about everything you need to know about Mormonism. In You Make the Difference (1973), some Mormon kids would rather watch X rated films than study for the Ministry. Cipher in the Snow (1973) is a very bleak film about a school kid who drops dead and it is found that no one at school had ever noticed him when he was alive. The Mailbox (1977), is the story of a old woman who is neglected by her kids. How Do I Love Thee (1965) is about college roommates Penny and Jan. Penny puts out for her boyfriend, while Jan is saving herself for marriage.
