The Alien Next Door: District 9 and the Cost of Segregation | Code Flix Season 2 Episode 36

On this episode of the podcast we meet Christopher Johnson and Wickus — a prawn and an ordinary man whose lives collide beneath a derelict ship over Johannesburg. Told through a documentary lens, the story unfolds from forced relocation and everyday cruelty to a shocking biological transformation that forces one man to see the world through another species' eyes.
As we chase the fuel canister, the lab raids, and a desperate flight toward the mothership, we grapple with segregation, exploitation, and the hard questions left unanswered: who are the prawns, what did humanity lose, and can empathy survive when power insists on division? Tune in for a tense, emotional ride through power, science, and the uneasy promise of redemption.
