Church receives $100,000 donation from "mockumentary" star

Actor Sacha Baron Cohen, who stars in ``Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,'' donated $100,000 to the church of a woman who believed she was taking part in a documentary but instead was being featured in the mockumentary comedy film.

Jeanise Jones, 62, thought she had been recruited by her church, Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church in Oklahoma, to mentor a teenager named ``Tutar'' who came to America with her father from a developing nation.

Jones didn't find out until the film's release on Amazon Prime last week that ``Tutar'' was an actress and the man she believed was her father was actually Cohen.
