Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (known commonly as Borat, and stylized as BORДT) is a 2006 mockumentary black comedy film co-written by and starring Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat Sagdiyev, a fictional Kazakh journalist traveling through the United States. Much of the film features unscripted vignettes of Borat interviewing and interacting with real-life Americans who believe he is a foreigner with little or no understanding of the local customs. Borat is the second of five films built around Baron Cohen's characters from Da Ali G Show and Ali G Indahouse.
