More recently, the headlines surrounding events such as the Iraq War, international terrorism, the avian influenza scare, and United States anti-immigration laws have found their way into the consciousness of contemporary filmmakers. The film "V for Vendetta" (2006) drew inspiration from controversial issues such as the Patriot Act and the War on Terror, while science fiction thrillers such as "Children of Men" (also 2006), "District 9" (2009), and "Elysium" (2013) commented on diverse social issues such as xenophobia, propaganda, and cognitive dissonance. "Avatar" (2009) had remarkable resemblance to colonialism of native land, mining by multinational-corporations and the Iraq War.
