PUBLIC ENEMY - IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK is a series of music videos, performances, interviews and archival news footage featuring the US rap group Public Enemy.

Language

Some strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), and milder bad language ('shit, 'ass').

There is brief sight of weapons and some fighting during a prison riot and sight of a noose placed around a man's neck in a music video. In another video, a group of executives have chopped up lines of cocaine on a boardroom table and try to hide their faces when a TV crew unexpectedly arrives. There is also brief archive footage featuring people being attacked; however there is no detail.
