Wear mask. Save live.

That’s the promo for the new Borat film, which hits Amazon Prime Video on Friday.

On Thursday, a barge appeared near the Toronto Waterfront teasing the release of the new film, starring Sacha Baron Cohen in the lead role as Borat.

The sequel to the critically acclaimed 2006 comedy mockumentary, Borat Subsequent Movie Film has been highly anticipated ever since it was announced in Sept.

This comes after Donald Trump attorney, Rudy Giuliani, made headlines for his appearance in the movie.

Giuliani later responded to the backlash and denied the allegations.
