They were about american issues, made in american language, intended for american audience, to have an impact on american way of life.

Just think, if those documentaries were in arabic language, and were shown only on Arab channels (nobody saw them in america) and got an award from Saudi Mufti, would that make sense to you?

This one about pakistani issues, intended for american audience, to have an impact on pakistani way of life.

the documentary was made for international viewership, hence in English language.
