It features in the Top 100 movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database, IMDb.com. Dealing with race relations through the language of science fiction, it touched people the world over.
The guns, the aliens, the vehicles, the graphic language - the world of District 9 was designed and developed here at Weta Workshop.
