Sex & Nudity
-
- A few references to prostitution and sex in general, but no sexual scenes are shown
- One very brief scene of nudity where a dancer at an adult club exposes one of her breasts for a second or two. It's done in dark lighting, and is over very quickly
Violence & Gore
-
- There's a scene of domestic violence near the start that's fairly brief. While it's technically not graphically violent, the fact it's real and clearly abusive makes it distressing to watch
Profanity
-
- A great deal of profanity; too many words to count, and just about every swear word is used
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Many scenes of drug-taking, and most are very graphic. Needles are shown being pushed into the skin in close-ups, sometimes
- Many people are shown to be under the effects of various drugs at many different points throughout the documentary
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Some of the early scenes of shoplifting may be tense
- A few scenes of heated arguments and aggressive behaviour
- The domestic violence near the start may be hard for many viewers to watch
- It's an overall raw documentary that's brutally honest, doesn't shy away from graphic content, and contains some very upsetting material
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A body is shown lying in a coffin near the end
- Incredibly graphic aftermath of a room where one of the subjects overdosed is shown. Blood and other possible liquids cover the floor, and we hear he was there for days before anyone found him
- After the location of an overdose is shown, we see the partially decomposed body of the man who overdosed inside what looks like a morgue, and it's graphic. His skin is incredibly discolored (dark yellow) and his chest might have been cut open during an autopsy (it's hard to make out exactly, but it appears red/bloody). The scene finishes with a brief close-up of his face, which is also in a state of decomposition, and he's hardly recognizable. The whole scene has some hugely disturbing imagery.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Drug overdoses contribute to all the deaths of the three main subjects of the documentary
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- One of the documentary's subjects learns he's been diagnosed with AIDS, which is very upsetting, and his health is then shown to deteriorate
- One of the documentary's subjects dies off-screen and is seen in a coffin
- One of the documentary's subjects dies of an overdose and begins decomposing heavily before his body is found (which the viewer then sees)
- The third documentary subject is shown to stay off drugs for 13 years, and it seems that it will end the documentary with some hope. But then she relapses when COVID restrictions mean she can't get her support, and we learn that $5 of drugs caused her to fatally overdose very suddenly. It's incredibly upsetting and depressing, and we see her funeral, with children and friends there, all clearly distressed. It makes for a very downbeat ending.
- The fact all three people that the documentary follows die early deaths because of drug addiction is incredibly upsetting
