In the beginning a tribe goes through a procedure, I believe to be circumcision, as a way of becoming a man.
shareIt's a pretty small part of the beginning of the movie. Arguably graphic, (not really IMO), and only like 5 seconds.
shareIn the first segment there is a brief view of bloodied skin on the ground: the removed foreskin. The relevance to the movie (apart from the ritual aspect) is that men who are circumcised have lower incidences of HIV rates.

Well actually, it turns out that circumcised men have higher rates of HIV in more than half of countries surveyed:
