This week on Distant Poets Society, Ms. Ramirez, Mrs. Rodriguez, Mr. Santos, and Mr. Smith discuss District 9! We talk about South African apartheid, otherness, and why pupils are so important in alien films. Mr. Santos sums the whole conversation up with this powerful thought, "Not only do we as people need to be able to be comfortable with people who don't 'look like us', but we also need to become, as human beings, informed about the lives, context, and cultures of those who don't act like us and talk like us and think like us."  

Join us next time as we discuss Parasite (streaming on Hulu) as we continue our conversations about social justice issues!
