Archive still photos and footage depict undetailed clashes between police and protesters during the 1970s and 1980s.

Older musicians are shown smoking cannabis joints. Verbal and visual references are also made to cannabis. However, drug misuse is neither promoted nor glamorised by the work as a whole.

References are made to a man's death six weeks after receiving a lung cancer diagnosis. Further references to illness, death and bereavement occur; these themes are dealt with in a thoughtful and sensitive manner.
