language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by milder terms ('God' and 'damn').
disturbing images
There is archive footage of corpses of war veterans floating underwater. There is also a sequence in which an unconscious diver is pulled onto the deck of a boat by others who attempt to revive him. It is subsequently revealed that he died.
additional issues
There is a brief sequence in which the titular figure dons brown face and a turban as part of a black-and-white film. The work as a whole does not endorse racist attitudes, however. In archive, two men ride on turtles' backs; however, this behaviour is clearly disapproved of in the accompanying commentary. There are also scenes of emotional upset, including those referring to the death of Cousteau's adult son in a plane crash, and to the death of his first wife from cancer. Adult characters smoke tobacco.
