violence
Archive footage shows police spraying tear gas towards civilians during the 1968 Miami riot, without strong detail. We also see grainy footage of military and police training exercises involving simulated riots, during which 'rioters' are roughly restrained, ‘snipers’ shoot from windows, soldiers lie on the ground pretending to be dead, and 'protesters' burn a hanged effigy.
language
Infrequent bad language includes ‘pecker’ and ‘hell’.
discrimination
The film explores the issue of racism in 1960s America and includes undetailed references to racial segregation, institutional racism within the criminal justice system, and police brutality against Black citizens. The terms 'negro' and ‘coloured’ are used in the historical context of times when such language was used by both Black and white communities. Racism is clearly criticised.
injury detail
There are brief images of an injured man with blood on his face in the aftermath of off-screen violence.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
