- discrimination
References to racism include a woman recalling that certain hotels would not let a dance troupe stay with them because some of its members were black. There are also references to homophobic behaviour, including a teacher suggesting a student is a 'sissy'; however the film is in clear opposition of discrimination.
- language
The film features infrequent strong language ('f**k') and uses of 'God', 'hell' and 'damn'.
- flashing/flicking lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
References to a man's murder include brief footage of a crime scene which includes sight of bullet holes in a wall. Upsetting scenes occur when people recall losing loved ones to AIDS. There's a mild sex reference when a man refers to he and a childhood friend 'rubbing against' each other.
