Have you all seen this? The trailer for a new huge movie called District 9. Part of the movie description is "An extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions". This movie was filmed in South Africa and these "slum-like" conditions are in fact Xhosa townships. My question, why does the world think that it is ok for people, right now, right this minute, to be living this way?
Is anyone actually thinking about this? I am very upset that the western world turns a blind eye to the chronic poverty that people are forced to live in. If we are to be realistic we could in fact say that "We humans are forcing our fellow brothers and sisters to live in Slum like conditions". How do you feel about this, the movie, the whole thing?
