Why it works
A specific predawn family scene starts the narration at 0:07, then expands into a systemic cause by 1:12. Sixty-five shots plus 59 in-shot changes keep the six-minute argument visually active, while huge statistics and recurring school/clock imagery make the evidence legible. The practical-solution pivot around 4:55 coincides with the strongest replay peak.
