violence
There is footage of the build-up to the execution of a woman by gunshot for an alleged transgression of Taliban law; the moment of her death is obscured, but there is brief aftermath sight of her body lying on the ground, with bloody detail present. Another sequence shows the aftermath of the bombing of a school, with sight of bodies covered by sheets and blood on a pile of children's shoes. The body of a man reportedly killed by Afghan government troops is seen lying in a box, and a man with blood on his face is helped from his car after it is attacked by the Taliban.
additional issues
There are reported examples of people being placed in threatening situations. There are upsetting scenes in which crowds of of civilians make desperate attempts to board evacuation flights from Kabul airport. There are scenes in which people grieve for the deaths of family members. A woman indicates that she and her sisters would choose taking their own lives over being forced into becoming Taliban wives. There are references to drug addiction amongst young men, as well as brief sight of a man in a drugged stupor smoking from a pipe. There is moderate bad language ('pimp'), as well as milder terms such as 'shit', 'God' and 'damn'.
