A twelve-year-old boy deeply involved in his neighbourhood's drug trade wakes up to the dangers of his way of life in this US drama from 1994.

violence
Strong violence features shootings and aftermath bloody injury detail, as well as the beating of a man with a heavy chain and an off-screen stabbing. Two dogs are set on each other in an underground dog fight, and one of the animals is subsequently shot and killed; however, no animals were harmed in the creation of these scenes.
threat and horror
There is strong gun threat and verbal intimidation of vulnerable characters.
language
Frequent strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') features as well as milder terms such as 'bitch', 'dick', 'ho', 'pussy', 'shit', 'ass', 'piss' and 'bastard'. There are also uses of discriminatory language ('spic', 'monkey', 'retard'), as well as uses of reclaimed racial language ('n***a').
sex
Strong sex references include crude remarks about oral sex, and a post-coital scene.
drugs
Drugs such as heroin and crack cocaine are prepared for sale on the street, including by children. No drug misuse is depicted, but the consequences of addiction are evident, such as women offering their bodies in exchange for drugs.
additional issues
Upsetting scenes are centred on bereavement and family discord.
