When Borat Came to Town
The thousand or so residents of the small Romanian village of Glod were horrified when the 'documentary' being made about them turned out to be Sacha Baron Cohen's blockbuster comedy that portrayed them as backward and uncivilised. This fascinating documentary tracks the aftermath of the Hollywood invasion, including the arrival of several hotshot lawyers promising big compensation payouts. And this time around, the villagers aren't so friendly to the camera crew. Also known as 'Carmen Meets Borat', this has all the poignancy, awkwardness, charm and humour that the real people of Glod have to offer.
