sex
There is moderate innuendo alluding to pubic hair and oral sex.

There are also references to alcohol dependency. Drug misuse is presented clearly as having damaging consequences.
suicide and self-harm
There are references to concerns about attempted suicide by patients in drug rehabilitation programmes.
theme
Bereavement and grief are a key theme of the documentary as a father emotionally chronicles his son's life, from his earliest years through to his untimely death in adulthood. Upsetting references are also made to dementia, brain tumours, cancer and mental health struggles.
