Never Look Away

There is unsettling footage of real violence in conflict zones which feature gunfire, the bombardment of towns and the trauma of civilians caught up in warfare. A woman’s backstory makes references to the beatings suffered by her and her siblings from their strict parents.

There are images of fear and panic amongst civilians caught up in armed conflict, and during natural disasters.

There is infrequent strong language (‘f**k’), as well as milder terms such as ‘balls’, ‘piss’, ‘bastard’, ‘screw’, ‘ass’, ‘asshole’, ‘hell’, ‘God’ and ‘damn’.

There are moderate references to hedonistic sexual activity.

There are references to the hedonistic use of drugs such as heroin and LSD. as well as images of people smoking marijuana. Heroin is mentioned as an accompaniment to sex, but the drug misuse is placed at times in the pasts of the people involved, who in the present have a different perspective on their behaviour and acknowledge the damage it did to themselves and those they knew.

There are references to suicide in the context of a person’s choice to not take that course after life-changing trauma, but to return to the work that was her passion.

There are distressing images in footage from conflict zones showing civilian casualties, including children, who have been injured or killed. The legs of a dead child are seen protruding from under a sheet covering the rest of the body, and there is also an image of a young fatality whose head lies in a pool of blood, as well as other images of bloody injury. A person’s life-changing injuries after being shot in the face are shown in the aftermath of surgery and as she recovers; she talks about encountering negative and discriminatory attitudes towards her changed appearance.

There is sight of breast nudity in photographs of a woman for which she has modelled.

There are moderate upsetting scenes centred on bereavement and childhood trauma. There are references to painful rehabilitation following serious injury, and to cancer.

This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
