drugs
There is brief use of 1960s footage of people smoking joints.
injury detail
We see brief black-and-white still images of the wreckage resulting from the 1959 plane crash which killed rockstars Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper, along with their pilot. A dead body can be seen sprawled in the foreground of the image, though there is no visible blood or wound detail.
additional issues
We see a black-and-white still image of police dragging a protester along the ground by his shirt, without visible injuries, in addition to archive footage of soldiers firing guns. There are mild references to death and bereavement, including a sequence in which Ritchie Valens’s sister becomes tearful as she recalls being told that her brother had died. Bad language includes ‘ass’ and ‘God’. There are also infrequent mild sex references.
