language
There is frequent use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’, ‘c**ksucker’), as well as milder terms such as 'whore', 'shit', 'bullshit', 'bitch', 'son of a bitch, 'crap', 'ass', 'God', 'damn' and 'hell'.
discrimination
There are photographs and archive footage of real violence directed at African-Americans which reflects the historical racial attitudes of the time. In one sequence of photographs, a black man is accosted by an angry mob of white protestors, one of whom kicks him.
Racist language includes frequent use of terms such as 'n****r' in archive audio recordings. Other terms, such as 'negro' and 'coloured', are spoken in the historical context of a time when such language was used by both black and white communities.
additional issues
There are infrequent drug references including those which discuss Louis Armstrong's marijuana misuse. Moderate visual and verbal references are made to prostitution within a historical context. Scenes also include a brief, undetailed reference to domestic abuse, as well as an image of a real dead body.
