Sacha Baron Cohen defends return of controversial Ali G: 'Holding up a mirror'

Baron Cohen expresses concern that the world has worsened over the past twenty years, with increased prejudice fueled by social media and AI. He argues that misinformation and conspiracy theories dominate public discourse, making ignorance prevalent. His character Ali G, while seemingly foolish, exposes powerful figures' biases through absurd questions. Despite his comedic intent to highlight issues like sexism and racism, the film 'Ali G: Who Iz I?' faces backlash, leading to a limited release in only 44 cinemas in the Netherlands due to calls for a boycott.
