Much of the film is shot on-scene at the protests, and tends to get shaky during moments of conflict between anti-tour protesters and authorities / sports fans

Very occasionally from the pro-tour side towards the anti-tour protesters, in regards to the latter's complaints against South African apartheid; the term "wog" is also used several times

Injuries are common during the protests and focus is given to both the injured and to the medics attending them at various points; protesters being taken to hospital following altercations is also referenced, though not shown

No, but oppression of black people under South African apartheid is a central focus of the protests, and ergo a key theme in the film

The pro-tour crowd is often verbally abusive towards the anti-tour protesters throughout the film in ways that may fall under hate speech (most significantly regarding race)

Focus is drawn to one particular jeering pro-tour man who appears to be heavily intoxicated, and alcohol is sometimes seen due to its connections to NZ rugby culture, though this is not a significant narrative element in most of the film
