Your Favorite Movie Might Have Been Banned In These Countries

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

This one shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. If you’ve seen Borat, you’ll know that Sacha Baron Cohen doesn’t exactly paint a positive image of Kazakhstan. The mockumentary was banned in several countries including, you guessed it, Kazakhstan.

Despite the initial outrage and ban, data showed that applications for visas to the Middle Eastern country actually increased after the film’s release. So maybe it was a benefit for the country and not a hindrance?
