violence
Scenes of strong violence occur, such as a massacre of Greek and Armenian inhabitants by invading Turkish forces. This includes bloody shootings, a man's body dragged behind a horse, as well as a scene in which a priest's ear is cut off with a knife. A man's throat is slashed in front of his family. Another man is set on fire. There are also scenes depicting trench warfare in which soldiers are shot and struck with mortar fire.
threat and horror
Scenes of threat are strong and sustained, particularly when Turkish forces begin to attack and massacre the people of Smyrna. We see terrified people running for their lives, being separated from loved ones, stripped of their belongings and huddled in boats hoping to flee to safety.
sexual violence and sexual threat
It is implied that women are being rounded up and raped by soldiers during the occupation of Smyrna. There are also verbal references to the rape of women during the massacre.
injury detail
There is significant bloodshed in the aftermath of violent scenes, such as a man's clothes drenched in blood after his ear is severed. There are also moments featuring strong injury detail, including a soldier's intestinal wound during a scene of trench warfare.
additional issues
Tensions flare between Greek and Turkish people resulting in ethnic violence. There are scenes in which people express discriminatory views about and towards other ethnic groups. There are scenes of moderate sex. There is very mild bad language ('God' and 'damn').
