Small world.... Additionally he is not the only 'Blomkamp' from redhill to be doing something in TV: Christian Blomkamp, who was 5 years ahead of me, writes for the SA Tv soap 'Generations'...lucky name.

Exploring. I would have said pretty much what the director seems to say — that there isn’t really a point or a take home message of the movie — it’s just for its own sake. Exploring.

I mean is it to make a comment of hope, a comment of fear of "aliens" (perhaps illegal immigrants), or is it a take on various apartheid situations? Seems the director doesn't even know http://represent.co.za/represent/index.jsp?post_id=482 Well thanks for the link :) I agree on the weird part…. also not sure on the aim of the movie.
