violence
A teenage boy is briefly attacked and held down by three youths.
language
There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t'), frequent strong language ('f**k'), and milder terms ('prick', 'dickhead', 'bastard', 'piss', 'shit', 'bastard', 'crap', 'arse', 'screw', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'God', 'hell').
sex
During a group conversation, a man briefly uses a crude sexual euphemism.
discrimination
The film contains an anti-immigrant discrimination theme and there are associated scenes of threatening behaviour, as well as racist language (for example, 'raghead'). There are also scenes in which refugees are called 'foreigners' and told to go back to their own country. However, these scenes are both criticised and challenged, and the film as a whole promotes and encourages mutual respect and understanding.
sexual violence and sexual threat
In one scene, a man reads an online post stating "No foreign paedos on our streets".
suicide and self-harm
In a prolonged scene, a man tells a woman that he contemplated taking his own life. We see the man on a beach before he explains that a dog unexpectedly ran onto the beach, and that this intervention and subsequent bonding with the animal averted his intention to take his own life.
injury detail
Brief footage showing the aftermath of a bomb blast includes sight of injured adults and children, with brief sight of bloody clothing.
theme
Scenes of emotional upset include a prolonged scene in a which a woman grieves for her dead father. However, she is comforted by people in her community who provide companionship and sympathy.
