threat and horror
Historical footage includes clips of protestors being chased by law enforcement; this occasionally results in people being pulled and shoved.
language
Infrequent strong language ('f**k') is used as well as milder terms including 'shit', 'ass', and 'God'.
sex
A woman describes buying a candy bikini from a sex shop for a costume; a picture of the bikini is shown. This is discussed in a comic, non-sexual context. She makes a passing remark about 'sex work-phobic' views.
discrimination
A young woman discusses her experience with sexism in her field, including references to toxic masculinity; this is clearly condemned.
nudity
There is brief natural female nudity as a woman swims in a river. When being pulled away by police, a woman's shirt is accidentally lifted, briefly exposing her breast; this is seen at a distance and is undetailed.
dangerous behaviour
A group of activists verbally discuss sneaking onto a construction site to stage a protest. They are later shown staging a protest on a road and gluing their hands to the wall of an office building. Historical footage shows protestors climbing on logging equipment. These actions are not promoted.
theme
There are upsetting scenes centred around the discussion of environmental destruction and the extinction of animals. The film includes real footage of deforestation.
