In the past months, the American political climate has created a lot of conversations- especially around gun ownership in that country. A new political satirical series takes it a step further; by actually talking to government officials and politicians who were duped into making shocking statements.
Hosted by Sacha Baron Cohen, the English comedian responsible for Borat and General Aladeen, the first episode of ‘Who Is America?’ shows him in costume as an Israeli special forces officer who had come to America to talk about gun rights. Unsuspecting individuals on screen unwittingly gave support to extreme opinions such as toddlers trained to use guns and so on.
The show has generated a lot of controversies since it’s airing two days ago and many people say it reflects the thinking of the ruling class.
Watch the first instalment above.
