Several shootings, very bloody, many on-screen deaths acted out with people vomiting foam and coughing up blood after drinking poison. A mother cuts her child’s throat, this is shown on screen. The mother and child are both shot and the aftermath is shown on screen, again very bloody and graphic.

No but there is a nonverbal child who is abused by cult leaders off screen (scars are shown on screen to indicate this history) and TW gore; later the child’s throat is slit by her own mother as she believes it’s what’s best for her child.

The movie is heavily based on the Jonestown mass murder/suicide, as such, many characters are coerced into suicide. Two characters explicitly kill themselves onscreen.

[SPOILERS] |||| The majority of characters in this film are killed by the end, including one of the main three protagonists who dies on-screen. The film ends with the other two protagonists alive, but there is no celebration in their success.

A character commits suicide via gun to the roof of the mouth; the impact is shown on camera, and the body is also shown in another shot as a character searches through the body's pockets. Unarmed people are gunned down while they run away. Bodies are shown with bullet wounds.
