"Borat's American Lockdown & Debunking Borat" (2021 release; 7 episodes totaling 83 min.) is a follow-up of sorts to last year's "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm", and intends to address the many conspiracy theories that have built up the last couple of years, and which are brought forward in the movie.
"American Lockdown" (37 min.) revisits the movie's segments involving the conspiracy theorists Jim and Jerry, and adds some footage that was left out of the movie for one reason or another. The best scenes involve Borat being introduced to Amazon's Alexa, and Borat imagining that Alexa actually is alive and living in the device. There is also more detailed footage of the QAnon rally that Borat ends up addressing. We then go "Debunking Borat" (6 episodes of 7-8 min. Each), in which Jim and Jerry meet (virtually) with various experts who will debunk these crazy conspiracy theories going around about Bill Gates, George Soros, the Clintons, the "Chinese Virus", etc. It all leads up to the very last episode in which none other than Hillary Clinton herself addresses Jim and Jerry (in a taped video message).
Bottom line: I really wonder who all this is intended for. If you've seen "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm", it is because you almost certainly abhor these crazy conspiracy theories and the people that stupidly fall for them, so there is no reason to watch this. If you haven't watch "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" but are curious, by all means watch the film before you spend any time on "American Lockdown & Debunking Borat". And if you are convinced that these conspiracy theories are "in fact" correct, I feel sorry for you (actually I don't).
