| Relevance to Ireland |      |
|---|
| It could happen in Ireland too! |
|
| Relevance to 'pink adoptions' |      |
|---|
| South Africa is one of the few options for pink adoptions, so understanding it's history is important. |
|
| Accessibility |      |
|---|
| It is better to know about the history of Cape Town to better understand it,but as a Sci-Fi film,it is very accessible. |
|
| Rigor |      |
|---|
| It's not an historical documentary, but it has very interesting similarities. It has been criticized for exploiting the anti-Nigerian feelings in all parts of the South African society, but it can be seen as a way to bring their point home. |
| Overall |      |
|---|
| An extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions in Jo-Burgh suddenly finds a kindred spirit in a government agent who is exposed to their biotechnology. This film is a very smart way of talking about events that took place in District Six, Cape Town during the apartheid era. |
District Six (Afrikaans Distrik Ses) is the name of a former inner-city residential area in Cape Town, South Africa. It is best known for the forced removal of over 60,000 of its inhabitants during the 1970s by the apartheid regime.
