discrimination
An Aboriginal Australian man is the victim of a racially aggravated beating at the hands of police; there is also directed use of the discriminatory terms 'nigger', 'wog' and 'golliwog' toward him. These occur within a historical context and are condemned by the film
additional issues
The film focuses on the real life case of the rape and murder of a nine-year-old girl; there is a visually discreet depiction of a possible version of how this crime occurred. There is sight of blood in the aftermath of off-screen violence. A man is restrained and beaten, but most impacts are hidden from view. There is infrequent strong language ('f**k') along with milder terms which include 'shit', 'piss', 'bugger', 'arsehole; and 'bloody'. A man describes being threatened with being cut and skinned alive by others with a razor blade. There are verbal references to sex and to 'feeling horny'.
