While at the cinema last week, an unusual trailer was shown, caught my attention but couldn't work out what it was. Its just aired on TV now too, not much info just a website to visit:

Looks like a new Channel 4 series based around aliens crash landing in the UK and basically not being accepted. The webpage shows a timeline of events...

Timeline of Human Oppression
The Landing-A 6.20am on 12 April 1977 a spacecraft crash landed in the Irish Sea 10 miles from the Welsh coast. On board were 383 of our species. They had no memory of our origin planet or why they were on the craft (ARK). The humans sent their British Air Force to "welcome" us.

Internment Camps-For months after our arrival the humans kept us captive in 'Handling Centres' (internment camps) in North Wales. They ran tests on us and interrogated us. They spread rumours that the space craft (ARK) was a convict ship carrying criminals. The first of many slanders against our people. Eventually they realised what was obvious: we were no threat to them. On 2nd August 1977, the government released us with the promise of equal rights for aliens in the UK. Promises which turned out to be LIES.

Gang Violence-Soon it became all too clear that aliens would never get justice in the UK. Violent gangs of humans targeted our kind, forcing us to band together to protect our families. Their media reported this as an uprising of "violent alien criminals".

Riots-After more than a decade of neglect and persecution by the humans, 75% of alien males were unemployed, meaning crime and poverty were rife in Alien communities. The riots of February 1990 led to a decree by the human government: they were segregating us away from the human population.

The Wall-On 13 February, the humans allocated us a 2.8 square mile area that we now know as Troy. They then forced us to build the wall surrounding it ourselves. Over 85 brave conscientious objectors were sent to prison for refusing to build the wall in the first few months of 1990 alone.

Today-Today there are over 6,000 of us living inside Troy. Most of us live here permanently, while others cross the border daily to work for the humans. When we're on the human side they tag us with a yellow bracelet so humans can recognise us. Although Troy is a fully-functioning town with its own economy and it is our home, we are essentially prisoners.

You can even join in the fun by downloading your very own poster...if you really want too ;) "Fight Human Oppression"

I'll just leave it out there to see what everyone else makes of it! :)

Thanks for posting Sérénité

Why must they always make negative mind control, negative anti Alien films and programs, showing:
suppression, abuse, revolt :(

Oh I forgot, that's not the emotional vib of the mainstream is it.

They don't wan't us or them getting along do they!

Just as District 9 was about apartheid so I believe (after seeing clip ) that this will be about the hardships refugees will face.

I'm looking forward to watching this now, seeing what undertones it gives off!
I agree Janette, some very gritty and talented Brit actors involved, should be interesting to see the direction it takes :)

It reminds me today's human migration from middle-east.

It also reminded me Star-Crossed TV series.

Replace word of "alien" to refugees.
