Why it works
The opening states the geographic paradox by 0:03 while the map highlights the peninsula by 0:01.5, then withholds the corporate reveal until about 1:08. The edit shifts from a 52-second changing map canvas into fast archival montage, and later charts around 4:04 and 5:26 make the economic and human consequences visible.
