Alive in Joberg by Neill Blomkamp

Alive in Joberg is a short film by Neill Blomkamp, in which masses of destitute aliens seek refuge Johannesberg in South Africa in kilometre-long, dilapidated spaceships, and then struggle to be treated equitably by the local human inhabitants. It's being expanded to a feature length version called District 9 (a reference to District Six in Cape Town, an inner city suburb from which thousands of non-whites were forcibly removed from their homes in the 70s in accordance with the apartheid regime), slated for release later this year.  I have high hopes.
