discrimination
In historical news footage, a Black man is seen with a bloody head and face after clashes with the police. There is also footage of police attacking Black people in South Africa under apartheid. References are made to racist murders and police brutality in the United States. A man describes how musicians used to feel forced to change their names in order to sound less 'ethnic'.
drugs
There is brief sight of a painting depicting a person smoking a joint. A man wears a t-shirt covered in cannabis leaves and there are infrequent and undetailed verbal drug references.
A newspaper headline references a 'rape suspect'. Post-coital scenes from a film are shown and there is sight of a film poster depicting two people naked; however, all genitals and breasts are covered. Footage is seen of gunfire, bombings and explosions during the Vietnam War. Use of mild bad language ('bullshit', 'shit' and 'ass') is accompanied by very mild terms such as 'God', 'hell', 'jerk' and 'damn'. A rock band smash up their instruments on stage.
