Anyone ever see this?

I was trying to find something about this---I think it may have been somebody's student film that somehow got into distribution as an educational film.

I'm usually pro-nudity. But this was apparently made around 1970. The movie begins with a Confederate soldier played by a hippie fleeing a battle. We don't see the battle, just one guy fleeing.

In those days, we thought hippies could play anything---they could represent characters in any era before the 1890s. Jesus looked like a hippie, George Armstrong Custer had hippie-length hair. Medieval peasants probably looked like hippies. Men had pony tails in the Revolutionary War.

So, this Confederate deserter goes to a river, takes his clothes off. He was scrawny and pasty. There was full frontal nudity as he jumps into the water. When he's out of the water, some Yankees shoot him naked.

After they kill him, some Union soldiers look through his stuff and one soldier is so upset he walks away so his sergeant shoots him.

Anybody know anything about this? I don't remember the title. It was 16mm color. I googled it and found nothing.

I saw this thing twice in high school, once in a film class and once in a class called "Death & Dying". The teacher warned us there was a naked man in it. He didn't tell us it was a gross naked man. It probably would have been okay if it had been a healthy, strapping Lil Abner-like Southerner.

I know this is sexist. I wouldn't attack a naked woman's appearance this way.

Why was a hippie in a pro-Confederate movie in the first place? For that matter, why was pretty much every Hollywood movie about the Civil War pro-Confederate? Disney was the only studio that wanted to preserve the Union and end slavery.
