A volunteer group has watched the majority of the films in the programme to check for the following items:
· Ableism · Abusive relationships/domestic abuse · Biphobia · Blood / Gruesome · Child abuse (verbal/physical) · Child sexual abuse · Classism · Descriptions of eugenics · Discussions about mental health · Drug use · Eating disorder · Fatphobia · Homophobia · Islamophobia · Nudity · Pregnancy / Abortion · Queerphobia · Racism · Self-harm · Sexism and/or misogyny · Sexual content · Suicide · Transphobia / transmisogyny · Violence (other physical) · Violence (sexual) Where possible the team has distinguished between depictions in the film and characters/subjects discussing or mentioning the above subjects. Please note that due to availability not all films have yet been watched. Due to the large volume of the task, which has been completed on a voluntary basis, some items may have been missed and we cannot guarantee the list is 100% accurate.
Where ‘None’ is written, this means there were no content notes recommended for the film. Where ‘Tbc’ is written, then content notes have not yet been checked for the film.
