If you’re a movie-goer, you’ll have an edge when it comes to answering today’s geo-quiz. 
The new sci-fi thrill ride District 9
tells the tale of an alien species (pictured) that ends up looking for refuge on earth. Their craft ends up above the city of Johannesburg in South Africa. In a story eerily reminiscent of the days of apartheid, the aliens end up being forced to live in a slum, called District 9. For today’s quiz, we want to know the name of the real-life slum just outside of Johannesburg where the movie was filmed. Geoffrey York, Africa bureau chief of Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper has the answer for you.
