violence
There are distressing scenes, including a sequence in which a real life shooting causes panic and leads members of the public to rush to the aid of a woman who has been attacked. Documentary footage shows clips of real violence, including rioters attacking police vans using petrol bombs, soldiers firing guns, and explosions in civilian areas. There is sight of bloody detail in the aftermath of real violence.
language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’) as well as milder terms (‘screw’, ‘arse’, ‘bugger’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘God’, ‘hell’, ‘Jesus’). A child makes a rude gesture.
additional issues
There are frequent references to suicide, in particular rates of suicide in different communities. There are references to discriminatory attitudes within religious communities, and a man makes homophobic remarks about gay marriage, though these attitudes are clearly disapproved of. There is a brief reference to drugs, and a child is seen smoking a cigarette. There are upsetting scenes, in which characters grieve a woman’s death, and there are references to mental health issues.
