| Message | Wartime can bring out the worst in some people, but others are prompted to rise to the occasion, demonstrate courage, and work to save innocents. |
| Role model | Mikael, Ana, and Chris are all well-intentioned and try to do their best in a very difficult situation. |
| Violence | The film focuses on wartime genocide. Many atrocities are shown, including villagers being hanged in groups and soldiers shooting women, execution-style. Street riots leave people bloodied, buildings burn, and other scenes show soldiers brutally attacking unarmed men. Mass graves are shown. |
| Sex | A betrothed man gets involved with a woman who's not his fiancee. They kiss passionately and start to undress, though there's no graphic nudity. They're later seen relaxing together in bed. |
| Language | Very little, but at least one use of "s--t" and "hell." One man calls another a "bastard." |
| Drugs | Characters drink at bars and parties, sometimes getting drunk. |
