threat and horror
People are under threat from airstrikes and explosions. A sustained audio recording depicts a woman and her family desperately seeking refuge amid bombardments, however, this is reassuringly resolved. There is a brief artistic depiction of blindfolded men kneeling on the ground. A short film briefly features knife threat.
language
Very mild terms include uses of 'God' and 'damn'.
injury detail
There is infrequent sight of bloodstains across body bags and surfaces. A sequence includes animal butchery shown in black and white.
theme
People are shown and heard in distress, including a man trapped beneath rubble. There are visual and verbal references to death and bereavement throughout. Further upsetting references are made to forced displacement, trauma and mental health, some of which relate to children and young people. A child describes their fear of being 'bombed to pieces'.
alcohol and smoking
Adults smoke cigarettes.
