In 2020, Baron Cohen filmed several pranks for a sequel film, a [[mockumentary]] comedy just like the first film.

Since the end of the previous film, Borat was sentenced to a [[labor camp]] for the dishonor he had inflicted on his country. The sequel follows Borat as he is ordered to deliver a monkey, and later his daughter to [[Mike Pence]], and later [[Rudy Giuliani]]. Borat then goes back to [[Kazakhstan]] in defeat, however, realizes that the Kazakh government has deliberately infected the world with coronavirus and is paid to keep the secret and is forgiven. The film ends with a message encouraging viewers to vote in the then-upcoming US presidential election.
