Consumer Advice: Contains one scene of moderate injury detail

Extended Classification Information (*SPOILER ALERT* Information may include plot details) THE UNWINKING GAZE is a documentary about the Dalai Lama and his efforts to deal with the Tibet-China relationship. The film was classified 'PG' for one scene of moderate injury detail. The scene in question is that of a girl who has a nasty arm injury. There is brief sight of her bone sticking out from her arm as the Dalai Lama blesses her. The girl is calm and there is no focus on the injury or evidence of distress. The guidelines at 'PG' allow for sequences of a frightening nature that aren't 'prolonged or intense'. This scene is brief and does not even register as frightening. The film also contains some scenes of generalised street protests, which do not include any violence.
