Sex & Nudity

  • There's a reference to European cities being more open-minded when it comes to sex, and some posters of women in revealing clothes (no actual nudity though) are shown, but very briefly

Violence & Gore

  • There are multiple scenes that show ISIS executing prisoners by shooting them in the head. Sometimes it cuts away, but sometimes it doesn't
  • One time-lapse shot shows a man being hung on a cross, crucifixion-style. It's unclear if the man is alive the whole time, or if it's a real crucifixion, or just symbolic. It is disturbing, whatever the case is.
  • War footage shown near the start. At least one person is shot and possibly killed on screen, with some blood visible.
  • The aftermath of beheadings is shown twice. There are three to four headless bodies with the heads displayed on a fence over the bodies. The first time it's seen uncensored, and the second time, it's blurred.
  • A still image is seen of a man holding a large knife to another man's hand, and he looks as though he's about to cut it off
  • Still image shown of what might be a hospital; a man is seen covered in blood. It's unclear if he's alive or dead.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Some violent archive footage is very disturbing.
  • The subjects of the documentary are in constant danger for much of the film, and many recount disturbing stories of friends and family they've lost.
