Why it works
The first 14 seconds show a familiar claim through a source card, symbolic graphic, and red visual escalation, then the strongest replay peak (0:13.7–0:14.8) lands on the narrator’s complication. Forty-two shots and a rapid 0:25–0:30 recovery montage compress decades without losing the guide’s voice. Headlines and charts substantiate the 0:49 crisis, while the final 1:35–1:53 section turns national success into visible human consequences.
