Numerous scenes of sudden peril, death, extreme violence and personal property destruction.
There is a racist political radio show broadcast heard in the film, as well as a visual intro commentary about Belgian colonialism and the impact it had on the tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda. This is disturbing at times; at one point, a man is seen measuring the nasal structure and eye colour of an African man to attempt to classify his worth by race.
A soldier (who happens to be a preteen boy) is seen holding women and children at gunpoint if they appear to have Tutsi features. One girl is pulled away to the side of the road; the scene cuts away to a human body being thrown off the side of a high overpass.
Houses are seen being set on fire and destroyed; one man is shocked to find his telephone and TV set broken, his vegetable garden destroyed and his family photos all smashed. Broken glass and furniture are seen broken, and rooms looted. One man shaves his face using the shard of glass from a broken mirror.
Rated R for strong violence, disturbing imagery, and some language.
Movie is about genocide, so multiole bodies can be seen on the ground dead, there is scenes of people getting killed, especially in crossfire, mass group murder is seen, grief and loss can be felt, and the movie is very strong on the darkness of genocide,very gut wrenching to watch and is very dark, warning advised.
