This film is director Neill Blomkamp's debut film. It follows the journey of Wikus van de Merwe, played by Sharlto Copley a field operative tasked with relocating the aliens to a new camp. During this mission, Wikus accidentally gets exposed to an alien chemical and begins to transform into an alien himself. The film's themes of xenophobia and segregation can be explored further in a limited series. Each episode could focus on different perspectives, such as the aliens' experiences, corporate exploitation, and the evolving human-alien relationships.
