violence
There are brief animated depictions of historical violence including impressionistic stabbings, one of which results in a stylised spray of blood.
language
Infrequent very mild bad language includes ‘God’ and ‘gosh’.
discrimination
A woman of South Asian ethnicity briefly mentions having faced workplace discrimination while living in Kenya. Another sequence contains non-graphic references to historical discrimination against Jain people in India. There are also condemnatory references to institutional sexism, and to traditional gender roles placing the burden of domestic work on women. The film carries a clear anti-discrimination message.
injury detail
A short, stylised animated sequence of historical violence features brief bloody detail. We also see very brief footage of big cats feeding on an animal carcass.
