My only contribution to this is to note that they are *real* words, spoken 
by *real* people, as opposed to actors reading lines.  It is a documentary. 
They are not actors reading someone's lines.  They are expressing themselves 
(maybe as best they know how) and it is the duty of the documentary camera 
to record exactly what was said.  When a lion kills a zebra on National 
Geographic we do not expect the camera to turn away at the (obscene to some) 
final moment.
