DISTRICT 9: Hailed as a Film We Can All Learn From
Jeff Rivera

This weekend District 9 blew critics away. This film works on all levels: action, adventure, sci-fi, horror, documentary and drama. It offers something for everyone, but more importantly, penetrates the hearts and minds of the viewer and aims to promote tolerance in a world of hatred.
Set in South Africa, the film tells the story of aliens landing on Earth by accident; their ship ran out of fuel and there is nowhere else for them to go. Rather than helping the aliens to leave the planet, humans keep them to learn their secrets, all the while keeping them in a squalid corner of Johannesburg called District 9. It quickly becomes a ghetto slum, littered with waste, crime and filth.
