Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Come to Kazakhstan, it's nice!
A frenetic, deliberately offensive mockumentary that uses absurdist provocation and social satire to expose American prejudices and hypocrisies through the persona of a bewildering foreign journalist.
Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev travels to America to make a documentary. As he zigzags across the nation, Borat meets real people in real situations with hysterical consequences. His backwards behavior generates strong reactions around him exposing prejudices and hypocrisies in American culture.
