violence
A person is slapped and grabbed by the throat during a heated altercation. A man is briefly shown flagellating himself for religious purposes, without visible injury.
threat and horror
There are occasional scenes of mild threat, such as when an angry mob searches a town for a priest and his supporters with the intention of exacting violence upon them. A short scene shows a man being arrested at gunpoint. A woman experiences an upsetting dream in which her twin babies are carried away from her.
sex
A man offers to provide a visiting priest anything he wants, including - as he implies by making a series of kissing noises - female affection. The priest firmly declines. In another scene a woman is referred to in passing as a ‘virgin’.
discrimination
A white man praises a white missionary for converting African ‘heathens’ and ‘idol worshippers’. Such attitudes are not condoned by the film as a whole.
injury detail
Sequences of vomiting ensue as characters are struck by disease.
disturbing images
A man handles a live chicken in a rough manner while preparing to offer it as a sacrifice, but the bird is not visibly injured.
theme
There are mild upsetting scenes of emotional distress and bereavement, including ones in which a woman grieves over the off-screen deaths of her children.
