violence
Scenes of violence include a military attack on a village in which civilians are gunned down and a man is set on fire, as well as fight scenes featuring exchanges of blows and beatings. Although intense and impactful, the violence does not contain unduly strong detail.
threat and horror
Moderate threat features the planning of a terrorist attack on a military parade, and includes sight of a person wearing a bomb vest. A man makes a deliberate attempt to avoid arrest by biting on a cyanide capsule.
language
Very mild bad language includes uses of 'moron', 'damn' and 'God'.
injury detail
There is bloody injury detail in the aftermath of violence.
nudity
There is brief non-sexualised nudity as a woman bathes.
sexual violence and sexual threat
As a woman describes being assaulted by soldiers as a twelve-year-old girl, along with her older sister, a flashback shows her briefly in distress as she searches for her sister, the attack on whom is implied and depicted without any visual detail, and also shows her being chased before the scene quickly ends.
theme
Upsetting scenes are centred on bereavement.
alcohol and smoking
Adults smoke in some scenes.
Passed 'PG' for mild violence
