The FBI Didn’t Like Borat That Much
Remember those crazy comedies of Borat? Actor and producer Sacha Baron Cohen tells us how the FBI followed him while he was filming the story of the Kazakhstan reporter.
“Sometimes it was the police, then the FBI were following us for a while,” Cohen told Fresh Air host Terri Gross. “They had so many complaints that there was a Middle Eastern man driving through America in an ice cream van, that the FBI assigned a team to us.”
Is this a routine procedure, racism or something more? We’ll never know.
