The estate of a deceased Holocaust survivor has filed a lawsuit to keep her interview out of Sasha Baron Cohen's upcoming Borat sequel. 

Judith Dim Evans, who passed away over the summer, was interviewed for the film in a Georgia synagogue in January, believing it was a real documentary 

A lawsuit filed this week said: “Upon learning after giving the interview that the movie was actually a comedy intended to mock the Holocaust and Jewish culture, Ms. Evans was horrified and upset.”  

It added: “Had Ms. Evans been informed about the true nature of the film and purpose for the interview, she would not have agreed to participate in the interview.” 

Mr Baron Cohen reprises the antisemitic Kazakh journalist role in an upcoming sequel, set to be released on 23 October, that ridicules American politics. 

Trailers released recently show Borat and his daughter, Sandra Jessica Parker Sagdiyev, travelling across the United States, including gatecrashing a CPAC meeting during Vice President Mike Pence’s speech. 

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Ms Evans’ attorney Adam Hoipkemier declined to say whether she had signed a release form for the free use of the footage. 

Mr Hoipkemier claimed he knew that the footage would be included in the final cut. The suit calls for the removal of the footage and damages of less than $75,000 (£58,000).
