Sacha Baron Cohen retired Ali G. Amazon revived the caricature. Cinemas can refuse it.

Ali G: Who Iz I? opens on 23 October 2026. Black British comedians called the character 'an alibi for racism' in 2000; Jeanette Winterson asked what separates it from the Black and White Minstrels; Kazakh and Arab organisations documented the harm of the catalogue behind it. Sony Pictures UK is selling it with the line 'He iz back. We ain't liable.' The screens belong to the chains, and a booking is a choice. Send a personalised letter to the booking desks of major chains in the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, Europe, Mexico and the Middle East, verified addresses only, asking each to leave the film off its screens. Chains in non-English markets receive the letter in their own language.
