THE DAY THE PONIES CAME BACK is a US drama, from 2000, in which a French saxophonist travels to the Bronx in search of the father he never knew.

violence
A character is shot in a drive-by shooting, with sight of a large blood spurt, and there are undetailed shootings. There are scenes of hand-to-hand fighting, including a man pinning down another and repeatedly punching him. A man abuses his wife, shouting at her and behaving in a physically intimidating way. He also grabs and slaps her, is emotionally manipulative and leaves her traumatised.
language
There is strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') along with milder terms which include 'whore', 'bitch', 'son of a bitch', 'shit', 'ass', 'asshole', 'balls', 'bastard, 'God', 'damn', 'Jesus' and 'Christ'.
sex
There is female breast, buttock and pubic nudity as female sex workers are seen with their customers and socialising in between unseen, but implied, sex acts. There are other verbal references to sex work and oral sex. A young boy watches a woman undress to her underwear through a window.
discrimination
There is use of racist terms such as 'n****r' and 'boos' by white characters. A white man is called a 'cracker'. There is discussion of the racism experienced by black people living in New York's Bronx area and peer-to-peer use of the reclaimed term 'n***a'. A man uses the homophobic term 'fag'. Discrimination is clearly condemned by the film.
A man snorts cocaine, but the act is partially hidden from view. There are verbal references to the impact of drugs on an impoverished area, including mention of 'dope' dealing, 'junkies' and crack houses. There is brief gun and knife threat and scenes in which characters threaten one another verbally.
