Alyssa is looking forward Elysium, created by District 9 director Neill Blomkamp, because she likes how his films show how “technological advancements will not be distributed equitably or universally, and in fact, that technology may be used to provide an escape hatch for the most privileged people in society”:
In [District 9], someone went from the privileged side of the divide to the underprivileged one and discovered that he couldn’t go back again, that there are strict rules for who you have to be to live in a comparative paradise.

I can’t wait to see what happens when he gets there.
