 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Michael Moore looked to his friend Borat to help muster the nerve to sail into Guantanamo Bay. Moore met "Borat" creator Sasha Baron Cohen at last fall's Toronto International Film Festival.
Cohen was there to screen "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," which went on to become a $100 million hit, while Moore showed off footage shot for his health-care documentary, "Sicko," which was to open nationwide Friday.
Cohen told Moore he had drawn inspiration from the filmmaker's documentaries, in which Moore doggedly pursues corporate and political bosses and puts himself into uncomfortable situations.
