Though plot details are currently being kept under wraps, the sequel of the 2006 film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan will reportedly follow the Kazakh journalist as he goes undercover to interview people after getting recognition following the release of the original film.
Baron Cohen kept the production of the film way below the radar, hoping to have the film ready in time to release before Election Day to help suade American audiences to properly vote in the forthcoming Presidential election, only to see word leak shortly after it wrapped that CAA Media Finance had screened it for possible distributors in search of a deal. With original studio, Fox Searchlight Pictures, being absorbed by Disney in the studio merger and theatrical releases still not entirely viable with the pandemic still underway, the 48-year-old writer/star and Amazon Studios elected to release it on Amazon Prime to reach a wide audience and get the message out in time for voting with its October 23 bow.

In Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Sacha Baron Cohen – star of HBO’s hit comedy “Da Ali G Show,” takes his outrageous Kazakhstani reporter character Borat to the big screen. In this hilariously offensive movie, Borat travels from his primitive home in Kazakhstan to the U.S. to make a documentary. On his cross-country road-trip, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences.
The film also featured Ken Davitan as the producer Azamat Bagatov, Luenell as Luenell the prostitute, and Pamela Anderson as herself along with politicians Alan Keyes and Bob Barr.
