drugs
There is brief archival footage in which marijuana is smoked, as well as several historical references to drug misuse in the 1960s, including the use of LSD. However, this is counterbalanced by commentators pointing out the negative effect and the failure of drugs to achieve spiritual enlightenment which was instead gained through immersion in meditation and the teachings of an Indian guru. Accordingly, drug misuse is not endorsed by the work as a whole. There are also references to a death caused by an accidental overdose of prescription medication. Images of cigarette smoking reflect the period in which the events documented by the film took place.
additional issues
There is documentary footage of an Indian funeral ritual in which a shrouded body is placed on a pyre which is set alight. There is infrequent mild bad language ('bastard', 'shit', 'God'). There are references to racial stereotyping. There is brief mild violence in a scene from an old South Asian cinema feature. There are infrequent mild sex references. There is archive footage of a tiger hunt and of buildings in Liverpool destroyed by bombs during WWII.
