Archive footage shows brief, undetailed action from the Vietnam War, and anti-war protesters being manhandled by police, with sight of a protester's bloodied face. There are references to historical tribal conflicts in which heads were cut off as trophies of war, and speculation that a present-day Western woman may have met with the same fate after disappearing without a trace. Comments are made about the historical mistreatment of a remote Indonesian island community by occupying colonial forces from Europe and Japan.

There are references to Westerners living on a remote South-East Asian island feeling endangered by a tribal group reputed to still follow their historical custom of 'head-hunting'.

There are references to and footage of the destructive aftermath of natural disasters, such as tsunamis and earthquakes.
language
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k').

discrimination
There are references to the historical era of apartheid in South Africa. Discrimination is not endorsed by the work as a whole.
