This is a decade old and I'm probably the last one to see this.
A giant starship comes to earth and mysteriously stops over Johannesburg, South Africa. After waiting for something to happen, officials cut into the ship to find a malnourished population of aliens warming themselves around the alien equivalent of oil drum fires.
The aliens are moved to a relocation camp in a neglected district of town, and ten years later they are living in poverty and degradation in a situation that's clearly meant to parallel South Africa's black townships under Apartheid. In documentary style, they tell the tale of a shadowy multinational corporation subjugating and exploiting the aliens and the weakling middle-level manager who gets caught in between.
