violence
Scenes of violence include those in which people are shot. Although detail is limited, the scenes occur within a discriminatory context.
threat and horror
Flashbacks to moments from history dealing with discrimination often contain pervasive threat. These include scenes chronicling the Nazis' rise to power, and which includes armed guards menacing a frightened family at a checkpoint as well as scenes of book burning during a night-time rally. In another sequence, a black teenager becomes uneasy and scared when he is followed by a car at night.
language
Moderate bad language ('whore') occurs, as well as milder terms ('shit', 'asshole', 'damn', 'hell').
discrimination
The film contains racist language (for example 'n****r', 'negro', 'coloured', 'boy'). In one scene, a black man's corpse is hanged from a tree during a picnic attended by families. In a scene set in the 1950s, a black boy is refused permission to swim with white children. There are verbal references to the boy growing up to become a man who remained psychologically scarred by the experience. In another scene, members of the Dalit caste in India are shown cleaning open sewers with their bare hands. German lawyers in the 1930s devise laws which actively discriminate against and dehumanise Jews. Naked black people are transported by sea in confined spaces which restrict their freedom of movement.
suicide
There is a brief verbal reference to a character taking their own life.
sexual violence and sexual threat
In a scene set on a slave ship, a captive woman screams when a white male overseer drags her out of the galley. There are verbal references to sexual violence.
theme
Scenes of emotional upset include those featuring dead and dying people. These include a funeral scene, and scenes in which bereaved people cry.
alcohol and tobacco
There are scenes in which adults smoke cigarettes.
