Why it works
The opening holds on the tower for 12.6 seconds while a praise claim is overturned by sharply cut criticism at 0:14–0:20. Price becomes tangible through a $70 million versus $850,000 comparison at 1:39–2:03, and a hands-on scale model at 4:39–5:19 aligns with a replay peak. The supplied six minutes are only an opening section of a longer documentary, with the promised lawsuit chapters still ahead.
