  • New District 9 Videos Ramp Up the Xenophobia

    District 9Three new viral videos from District 9, Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi tale of apartheid with real aliens, have surfaced. They showcase the two faces of a shadowy organization called Multi-National United, which is looking to exploit the alien technology and keep non-humans in their place.

    Things start off innocently enough in a PSA for MNU, touting its altruistic mission of "creating a bright future for all mankind." The second video makes it clear that "mankind" is meant to be exclusive, not inclusive. Viewers are warned to watch out for suspicious non-humans gathering in groups of two or more. The alien panic reaches a crescendo in the third spot, with urgent warnings about escaped aliens. The tagline in the last two videos makes the mission of MNU quite a bit more explicit: "Keeping humans safe, by keeping non-humans separate."
