District 9 Movie

District 9’s setting is inspired by real issues that happened in South Africa during the apartheid, with the movie’s title specially referencing District Six.
District Six is an inner-city community in Cape Town was announced a “whites only” area by the government in 1966, with 60,000 people forcibly moved out and settled to Cape Flats, twenty-five kilometres away, for the next several decades.
The theme of racial discrimination and xenophobia is reflected in the use of the word “prawn” to name the aliens.

District 9 opened in the U.S. and Canada on August 14, 2009 and ranked first at the weekend box office with an opening gross of $37,354,308

In 1990, a big spaceship carrying a bedraggled alien population called The Prawns appeared over Johannesburg City, Republic of South Africa. 20 years later, the first welcomed by the human population has faded. The camp where the aliens were placed has devolved into a militarized ghetto named District 9, where they’re jailed and employed in squalor.
In 2010, the munitions corporation, Multi-National United, is signed up to forcibly force out the population with operative Wikus van der Merwe in charge. In this operation, Wikus is exposed to an unknown alien chemical and must rely on the help of his only two new ‘Prawn’ friends
