' District 9' (2009) is a feature based on the 2005 short film ' Alive in Jo'berg', about the tense relationship that exists between a group of aliens who have been living on earth for 30 years & the humans who have been trying to keep them segregated & under their control.

With Secretary Delacourt (Foster) charged with enforcing Elysium's strict anti-immigration policies with a team of hardened troops at her disposal, led by the ferocious Agent Kruger (Copley), Max faces the battle of his life if he intends to bridge the cosmic gap between rich & poor. ...
