In Borat (2006) the villagers weren’t actors. They were misled into thinking that it was for a documentary and Baron Cohen was a journalist. After the film’s release, villagers sued the studio for portraying them as rapists, prostitutes and thieves.

This describes a controversy surrounding the film Borat (2006). The opening scenes of the movie were filmed in a Romanian village, where locals were not professional actors but real residents. They were reportedly told that the filming was part of a documentary, with actor Sacha Baron Cohen posing as a journalist. However, when the film was released, they discovered they had been portrayed in a satirical and exaggerated manner, reinforcing negative stereotypes.

Feeling misled and exploited, some villagers sued the production company, claiming that they had been falsely depicted as criminals and sex workers. Despite their legal efforts, the lawsuits were dismissed. The situation sparked broader discussions about ethics in filmmaking, the fine line between satire and defamation, and the responsibilities of creators when using real people in their work.
