Plasatis has a background in social anthropology. He presents anecdotes without judgement, with the aim of capturing his observations as accurately as possible in the authentic voices of the people involved.

Violence is not just alluded to, however — it is often described in intensive detail.
We jump from one disturbing story to the next, at a pace that can be disorienting. In many of these stories, women are the victims. Angie recalls being sexually abused by her parents at a young age.]
