District 9

Aliens have landed on Earth. They did not land in the United States, but they landed in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Mother Ship was huge. It covered an entire area in Johannesburg. That area was called District 9 for 20 years. These aliens live light years away on a planet that has 7 moons. For 20 years, the aliens failed to leave earth because they had to collect enough fuel. Their fuel is a tar like substance that makes the mother ship go. Their command pod is underground. This pod has been underneath a shed for 20 years. A alien and his son has been fixing it for 20 years.A secret government organization was created to house these aliens. The houses and the community turned into a slum. Nigerian militants have taken over the area. They were sent to South Africa because of the powerful Alien weapons. They have been providing the aliens with food. The Aliens have given them their powerful weapons in return.
Twenty Years after their landing, the government agency sent a man to negotiate with them. They want that man to have the aliens sign and eviction. They will be relocated to a concentration camp with better housing.The concentration camp is later called District 10. So far , he failed to get the aliens to sign. He has been traveling with a video recorder recording District 9.

Then he got the fuel. He breathed it and it took one day for the transformation to start. His left arm turned alien. The bio lab tried to experiment with him. Then he escaped and the media started making up rumors on how he got it. They said he made out with a prostitute.

He thought that the aliens were filthy creatures and called them prawns. Until he made a new friend. His new friend was the brains behind the construction of the mother ship. Things are not what they appeared to be. That is a lesson that the movie , District 9, was trying to teach us.
