violence
There is documentary footage of street riots in Jamaica at a time of political unrest, with sight of guns being fired. There is an account of Bob Marley and two other people being shot and wounded; footage of the aftermath shows bullet holes in a wall and what appears to be a bloodstain on a floor. References are made to the separate murder of a record company executive.
language
There are infrequent uses of strong language ('bloodclaat', 'rasclaat'), as well as an implied use as part of a word ('FUC') is seen on a wall-mounted poster. There are also milder terms such as 'hell'.
drugs
There are images of marijuana smoking from pipes and spliffs, and references to drug use being part of the culture of reggae music. There are also images of people smoking cigarettes.
additional issues
There are mild sex references. There is documentary footage of the aftermath of a hurricane which struck Jamaica in 1988.
