from Local to Social

Extracts from public information videos warning against knife crime and gang violence feature short, undetailed re-enactment sequences. In a brief extract from an interview, a man describes seeing a woman with a bullet hole in her head, exposing brain matter. Another man recalls witnessing instances of gang violence in which people were slashed with knives. There are also verbal references to a hypothetical scenario involving domestic violence.

There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Other terms include ‘dickhead’, ‘shit’, ‘bloody’ and ‘God’.

Occasional moderate sex references include discussion of STIs and use of condoms.

There are occasional verbal references to discrimination, including racism. Discriminatory attitudes and behaviour are clearly not endorsed by the film as a whole.

There are infrequent verbal references to misuse of drugs such as crack cocaine and marijuana.

A video playing on a screen in the background of a scene features brief footage of a victim of knife violence being treated in hospital, with fleeting bloody detail.

People speak without graphic detail about their personal mental health struggles, with brief references to self-harm and attempted suicide.
