Overview
Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutal sci-fi thriller that uses alien contact as a lens to examine systematic dehumanization, xenophobia, and state violence. It's visceral, incisive, and deeply uncomfortable, a film that makes you complicit in its horrors.
