sex
There are frequent visual and verbal sex references, including to urolagnia, oral sex, anal sex, BDSM and masturbation.
sexual violence and sexual threat
References to sexual violence occur when the documentary's subject, El Duce, and his band produce songs about 'rape'. He encourages a crowd to shout out if they like to 'rape women' and is met with cheers. One clip shows him appear on a chat show where he is antagonistic towards a victim of sexual violence. In another clip, 'El Duce' describes what a 'peaceful rape' is and refers to this involving drugging a woman. A topless woman dances on a video in front of a neon sign that reads 'sex slave'. Misogynistic song lyrics refer to women as 'inferior' and as 'sluts'. The documentary condemns sexual violence.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
There is sexualised breast and genital nudity, including images of naked women dancing on stage and a naked woman briefly shown in a pornographic film. Close up shots show an inebriated man's flaccid penis. A man describes his dad beating him as a child. There is strong language ('motherf**ker' and 'f**k') and homophobic language ('faggot' and 'queer'). There are verbal references to a man having suicidal thoughts and another man ending his life by taking an overdose.
