District 9
A massive starship carrying a large, bedraggled, alien population appeared above Johannesburg, South Africa in 1982. The initial reception by the humans has not been felt for 28 years. District 9 is a militarized ghetto where aliens are held. They live in poverty and the refugee camp was destroyed. Multi-National United is contracted by the munitions corporation to forcefully evict people in 2010. Wikus van den Merwe will be the head of the operation. Wikus must depend on his two new friends, the ‘Prawns’ to help him in this strange operation. –Kenneth Chisholm ([email protected])
