violence
Archive still photos and footage depict undetailed clashes between police and protesters during the 1970s and 1980s.
language
Infrequent strong language ('f**k', 'bloodclaat') is accompanied by the 'middle finger' gesture and milder terms such as 'bloody', 'shit' and 'God'.
discrimination
On-screen text features a quote taken from a racist tirade aimed at black people and other ethnic minorities. However, this is immediately and clearly condemned. News footage depicts protestors participating in a white nationalist march in the 1970s. Archive footage taken from a dated television programme features racist attitudes, however, these views are indicative of the historical period in which the show was made and are implicitly condemned.
drugs
Older musicians are shown smoking cannabis joints. Verbal and visual references are also made to cannabis. However, drug misuse is neither promoted nor glamorised by the work as a whole.
theme
References are made to a man's death six weeks after receiving a lung cancer diagnosis. Further references to illness, death and bereavement occur; these themes are dealt with in a thoughtful and sensitive manner.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
