discrimination
There are visual and verbal references to racism and slavery, including the implied abuse of prisoners and slaves through being whipped or locked up. There is also historical use of the terms 'negro' and 'coloured', in both racial and racist contexts.
disturbing images
Black and white photographs of dead soldiers include some striking details, such as corpses with bloodied faces. However, these images are contextualised within the American Civil War, and do not contain graphic injuries or gore.
Brief scenes of mild threat include an impressionistic re-enactment of the man fleeing captivity through a wood. Discreet references are made to people preferring to take their own life rather than be captured and returned to captivity and enslavement. There is implied violence through sound effects over still images of historical battles.
