violence
People are kicked or struck with sticks in scenes of moderate violence. In another scene, a group of men chase down a man and woman, tie them up and strip the weeping woman’s upper body bare - without sight of nudity - before covering them in stinging ants.
threat and horror
We see people being chased and attacked during scenes of moderate threat. An upsetting scene shows a group of women, having been given a choice between forced marriage or suicide, lining up and jumping into a body of water.
language
There is infrequent use of moderate bad language ('bitch'), in addition to more frequent use of milder terms (e.g. 'God').
discrimination
Throughout the film we see a lower caste community being ostracised, persecuted and subjected to physical violence in scenes of historical caste discrimination. Discriminatory attitudes and behaviour are not condoned.
injury detail
There are brief images of a pile of moderately bloodied corpses, some with visible bullet wounds, in the aftermath of an off-screen massacre.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A frightened woman is stripped of her clothing after being sentenced to marry a man from an outcast community. There is no visible nudity, however, and her new husband makes no sexual advances towards her.
theme
There are mild scenes of bereavement and emotional distress.
