"Borat" is sued by the family of Holocaust survivors

It is about Judith Dim Evans, born in 1932, who was contacted by the film team with a request to participate in the film.

Judith Dim Evans is said to have gotten the impression that it was a serious documentary about the Holocaust and flew to Atlanta to participate.

This summer, Evans passed away and it is her daughter and the rest of the family who are now suing the film company, writes Independent.

"If Judith Dim Evans had been informed of the real purpose of the film and the interview, she would never have agreed to participate," the lawsuit states.

The character Borat comes from the fictional Kazakhstan and often expresses anti-Semitic views, but Sacha Baron Cohen himself is of Jewish birth. Evans' daughter now demands that the scenes with the mother be deleted from the film and that the family receive damages corresponding to SEK 665,000.
