Readthrough summary

Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G returns for the first time in about 20 years in Ali G: Who Iz I?, which Cohen directs. The film picks up after Ali G has spent two decades doing very little and learns his longtime girlfriend is eight months pregnant.

Needing to provide for his family, he heads to America to reclaim his old glory by making a documentary with real people, returning to Cohen's guerrilla style of comedy aimed at political extremism, bigotry and hypocrisy.

In a clip shared exclusively with Collider, Cohen also revives Erran Morad, the self-styled Israeli anti-terrorism expert from Who Is America?, who works on a group of American men, starting with a Republican Party chairman from El Paso, Texas.
