drugs
There are scenes of drug misuse in which people smoke marijuana.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
There is a scene of brief, implied sexual threat in which a child is placed on a table in front of a group of men, one of which suggests her father sell her to pay off his debts. The proposal is intended to intimidate rather than be taken seriously and the mother quickly removes herself and the child from any potential harm. There is a scene of moderate injury detail following a man accidentally falling to his death whilst being chased through a construction site. There is use of middle finger gestures. Moderate sex references include an advert on a billboard ad promoting safe sex.
