Alien refugees come to Earth, only to become squatters and criminals while the world looks on. After 20 years, the local government tries to relocate them to better facilities only to discover alien technologies they had been salvaging and repairing.

A unique setting and good story. It’s not a super-fantastic movie, but it’s definitely highly recommended. It has a high “ick” factor.
