The Psychedelic Priest

discrimination

There are scenes of racism, including a sequence in which two white cops verbally and physically abuse a black man before forcing him into the back of their car and drive away. It is then subsequently implied that they killed the man, with some bloody aftermath detail on the man's body lying at the side of the road. This is also accompanied by racist language, as the white cops refer to the black man as a 'watermelon eater', 'n****r' and 'black boy'. There is also a scene in which a woman recalls being concerned at the prospect of having a 'coloured' baby.

drugs

There are scenes containing hard drug use, including a man who prepares and then injects heroin into his arm. Other scenes of drug misuse include people smoking marijuana joints, as well as experiencing hallucinogenic effects from drugs.

additional issues: There are undetailed references to sexual violence, as a woman describes her experiences hitchhiking with a man who attacked and raped her, resulting in a pregnancy scare. There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms, including 'crap', 'ass', 'God', 'Christ' and 'hell'.
