[QUOTE="Steve-o, post: 273454"] I think this movie takes influences from District 6 during apartheid and the xenophobic attacks from last year. Basically a large number of cape malay's ( the ingenious ethnic group in the Cape) that stayed in an area called District 6 were forced to move because it was declared a whites-only area. It was a big stir up back in the 60's. Hence the aliens being kicked out of District 9 (6 swapped around). Then the other link is to the xenophobic attacks that happened in black townships where 60-odd foreigners were killed because the indigenous black Africans accused them of taking all the jobs. Hence the violence shown against the aliens for taking money from the citizens. Or maybe I'm paranoid... [/QUOTE]
