There seems to be a very good story behind it, tying in a lot of history, both world and local (to South Africa) history. Lots of relation with the treatment of the Aliens compared with the Apartheid, US Japanese Internment camps, and other oppression of one race, religion and in this case, species by another.

The director actually made a small Indie film a few years ago that started this film. The director is from South Africa, and grew up in the Apartheid era, saw it first hand.
