Swedish censorship / rating

Certificate number 204159
Date 2016-12-14
Classification Allowed from age 11
Notes Digitalfil.
Grounds for decision Framställningen innehåller inslag av demonstranter som misshandlas och förnedras, en man som hålls fast och misshandlas samt en utdragen avrättningsscen. Trots den bitvis tunga tematiken är inslagen skildrade i ett tydligt historiskt sammanhang vilket anses verka förmildrande. Framställningen kan medföra stark rädsla och oro och bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 11 år.
