ERROR CODE 8:46 is a British film, combining drama and dance, in which a young artist struggles with isolation and racist oppression in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests.

threat and horror
Surreal nightmare sequences show a frightened man hiding, trapped or being chased. In another sequence he is surrounded in the dark by sinister figures wearing featureless masks. Police fire tear gas at protesters, causing panic and distress.
discrimination
There are moderate references to racism throughout. For example, there are verbal references to racist police shootings, which are described as ‘modern day lynchings’, and a frightened man is shown struggling and flinching on his knees before collapsing to the floor, alluding to the racist police murder of George Floyd. In another scene a man is distressed to find the words “I can’t breathe” written on his back, and in another he weeps as he says he was forced to change his voice, his hair and his name in order not to be a ‘target’. The film features a clear anti-racism message.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
Infrequent bad language includes ‘shit’, 'God' and ‘damn’. Other issues include references to mental health.
