An elderly Romanian carries fire wood in the village of Glod, ...

14th Nov 2006, 14:38 GMT

(Reuters) - An elderly Romanian carries fire wood in the village of Glod, 140 km (87 miles) north of Bucharest, November 14, 2006. Romania may not be a stop on Borat's fictional road trip, but Romanian villagers are furious their roles in this month's top-grossing U.S. film by a British comedian earned them a few laughs but little cash. Nestled in a narrow valley in southern Romania, the village of Glod starred as Borat's hometown in Kazakhstan where, in the film, peasants live with cattle, horses are used to pull cars and brothers can share steamy kisses with their sisters. The Roma villagers said the film, which portrays Kazakhstan as a nation of horse urine-drinking misogynists, can only increase further discrimination they say they face in Romania and damage the country's image abroad.
