Groundwork for District 9

I just came across this short film which was the groundwork for District 9, currently in theatres. This is so compelling to me because this is the first time I have ever seen alliens in a film represented as being "stuck" on earth. Usually the alliens have a plan to strip earth of its resources and take over the world only to be stopped when the world unites to fight back. This film is so bizzare because the alliens aren't in a major city and their violence seems to be provoked out of frustration from not being treated as equal to humans.

I haven't seen District 9 but I plan on renting it this winter. I hope the film is about social issues and not too much action. This was a really cool find, enjoy.
