Sex & Nudity

  • Some teen boys follow a teen girl saying her clothes being inappropriate and call her a slut. One grabs her and presses his body up against her but they quickly leave.
  • An art history teacher briefly shows a picture of the ancient Torcello Cathedral with mosaics of scenes from the Bible. In the background there are non-detailed, seminude images from the judgement day story.

Violence & Gore

  • During class, a boy and a girl are arguing quietly as the teacher is trying to get the class quiet. She is teaching when the girl slaps the boy across the face. She pushes him - they are arguing. Classmates grab them and separate them (while some get out their phones and record). The teacher is going to write the 2 kids up. The boy is calm but the girl is disrespectful and the teachers tells her to leave. She exits using bad language.

Profanity

  • The story centers on a group of teenagers living in an urban area and many bad words are used repeatedly.
  • Three or four ethnic or racial slurs are used (examples: negro, whitey, don't be a jew). The story is about teenagers researching the victims of the Holocaust. We see them become more empathetic by learning how prejudice against ethnicity brought the horrors of the Holocaust.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • In her living room a teen girl cleans up and removes some empty beer bottles on a table next to her mother. Her mother then lights a cigarette.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A few classroom skirmishes are depicted. Mostly they just yell and push each other. We do not see anyone punching or hitting. Students are pulling them apart to break it up.
  • Students studying the Holocaust see an image of some morbidly thin children, ostensibly in a concentration camp. They are only nude from the waist up.
  • A male student standing in a room at school is yelling racial slurs at another boy who is seated. A teacher enters the room to stop the disturbance. The assailant grabs the teacher by the lapels on her jacket and pushes her up. He yells in her face and shakes her. Three students come in to help their teacher and they wrestle the assailant to the floor. There is much yelling and cursing.
  • During class, a boy tells a girl to shut up. He and another boy stand up and get in each others faces to fight. No fight ensues and they sit down and are calm.
