The main characters are (teenage) child soldiers, which automatically implies abuse, whether they became soldiers by force, coercion, or by "choice". They are clearly afraid of the adults, but we don't see much adult-on-child abuse onscreen, except when a commander forces them to do exercises that push the limits of their endurance. We do see a lot of abuse and violence between the children and some scenes are difficult to watch. [SPOILERS] Also, the prisoner of war kills one of the children in order to escape.

The cow dies (fairly early in the film) by being accidentally shot. The shooting is offscreen, but we see her lying on the ground (from a distance) and hear her mooing in pain before she dies. After, the cow is butchered for meat, so we also see a skinned carcass hanging up and being cut up.

The cow is shot and killed accidentally when the kids are playing with guns. In an earlier scene some of the kids are trying to ride the cow and it seems distressed.

There is one brief scene with bugs that is quite intense. A woman travelling through the jungle is plagued by a swarm of small flies. She acts panicked and puts a plastic bag over her face as protection, but it's futile because some of the flies seem to be inside the bag. Other than that, there are a few other scenes where flies are buzzing in the background. And people make an insect-like noise with their mouth and hand to signal to one another.

One character is killed by drowning when their head is held down underwater. There's also a scary moment where someone puts a plastic bag over their head - see under "are there bugs".

The film revolves around a group of child soldiers who are guarding a woman who is a prisoner of war. Throughout the film, she is kept prisoner and moved to different locations against her will.

Two separate scenes where someone is forced to stay in a dark hole in the ground for some period of time as a punishment. These are the worst, but there are other scenes in a prisoner's cell and an underground passageway.

Someone is killed by drowning (their head is held down underwater). There is another near-drowning scene later where someone swims through a very rough and fast-flowing river and can't manage to stay above water. Other people jump into the river to pursue them. The person we follow does survive, but it's not clear whether the others did (because this is very near the end of the film).
