There are scenes with gang beating, denigration, use of excesive violence from the guardians. There are intense and very real scenes. I consider several scenes are really violent and raw.
A boy hits an older man over the head with a shovel, knocking him down and injuring his head. Blood is shown, and later the man is seen wearing a bloody bandage under an eye patch.
One shot lingers on the back of a boy as he hangs from ropes. You can see the skin under the ropes is raw and bleeding, and it is visually implied he has been brutally beaten and tortured.
