Frightening & Intense Scenes
-

- This film is set in the early 60s when racial segregation was common several instances of this are shown such as a rope separating black and white teens at a dance party, the detention room being full of black students and black dancers only being allowed to perform once a month on a popular TV show which this episode includes a term that is now considered a racial slur in present day.
- The song " I Know Where I've Been" may make some viewers emotional especially if they have experienced racial discrimination.
