What Parents Need to Know
About Kim
Parents need to know that the main character's parents are dead, which may be upsetting to young viewers. Kim turns to petty theft to survive instead of living in an orphanage. Part of the story takes place during a battle, and a character dies. Issues of race and caste are thematic.
