A visceral sci-fi allegory about systemic oppression and dehumanization, told through body horror and found-footage realism as a man's transformation forces him to confront the humanity of those he's helped exploit.

Thirty years ago, aliens arrive on Earth. Not to conquer or give aid, but to find refuge from their dying planet. Separated from humans in a South African area called District 9, the aliens are managed by Multi-National United, which is unconcerned with the aliens' welfare but will do anything to master their advanced technology. When a company field agent contracts a mysterious virus that begins to alter his DNA, there is only one place he can hide: District 9.
