So i just watched the video. Wow it is far different from the actual motion picture, “district 9”. But the message is the same. The core is the same. The believe that main issue would be the Following: Racial segregation 2. How New comers are socially and racially viewed as negative and then pushed away (Outcasts). I think we wanted to also show how the Partide is similar to the movie. Some resemblance.
Post 1. An overview of the issue—-> https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/usermanuals/neglect/chapterthree.cfm

Also credible. I used a video for the overview as well because it shows exactly the initiation process my allegory covers.
