Why it works
The title assembles over one aerial shot in the first 2 seconds, creating motion before the first cut at 0:24.7. A quantified wealth gap at 1:55–2:07 becomes a sequence of geographic counterexamples; the animated GDP map immediately after the sponsor at 4:21–4:30 is the most-replayed stretch. The 6:00 supplied capture is only the opening chapter of a longer video.
