Sex & Nudity
-
- Kimberly Wells is reporting about a belly dancer (which she calls a 'bellygram'). Close-up shots of the belly dancer are shown.
- Mildly sexual language used by cameraman toward Kimberly while shooting "reaction scene" at the beginning of the power plant tour. Overall in observing her male boss' comments about Kimberly, this demonstrates female objectification as regards representation on television news programs at the time, i.e. women were regarded as eye candy.

Profanity

Frightening & Intense Scenes
