Acquisition Highlight: Chappie, a new film by South African Neill Blomkamp
Our latest Acquisition Highlight is about Chappie, a new film by South African director Neill Blomkamp. Set in stark Johannesburg, it is a tale of a sentient robot finding the best and worst of humanity, and while it may not be perfect, it asks questions about right and wrong, how we should pursue and use technology and treat other members of humanity. Actually, Chappie himself is more fully developed than those in charge. Also starring Sigourney Weaver, Dev Patel and Ninja and Yo-Landi Visser, the duo better known as the South African rap-rave group Die Antwoord. Read the Acquisition Highlight!
