Moderate: Death of parent, Child death, Terminal illness, Sexism, Religious bigotry, Police brutality, and Misogyny

Minor: Medical content, Medical trauma, Suicide, Colonisation, Classism, Gun violence, Hate crime, and Islamophobia

Content is focused on the details of growing up during the Islamic Revolution and the ensuing war between Iran and Iraq. Images show confinement, torture, and death, but avoid outright gore.
