violence
Scenes of violence include a woman being beaten by her father. She is punched and dragged by her hair. In an earlier scene he chases her, manhandles her and forces her to cut her hair. Other violent scenes occur throughout, and involve stabbings and slashings with swords and other weapons, as well as some exchange of gunfire, resulting in injury and death. There is brief sight of blood.
There is a brief and undetailed verbal reference to rape. There is very mild bad language ('damn'). Sexual activity is very discreetly implied. Scenes of threat include one in which a man threatens to hurt a child inside a hut, before other villagers intervene.
