Script structure:

COLD OPEN (first 60-90 seconds):
- Drop into the most dramatic or intriguing moment
- No titles, no introduction — start in the middle of something
- End on a question or tension that demands the viewer stays

ACT 1 — CONTEXT (20% of runtime):
- Who/what/where/when
- Why this story matters
- The world before the central event or subject
- Introduce key figures with vivid characterisation

ACT 2 — ESCALATION (40% of runtime):
- The core events in narrative order
- Complications and turning points
- Conflicting perspectives
- The stakes becoming clear

ACT 3 — CLIMAX AND FALLOUT (25% of runtime):
- The pivotal moment
- Consequences and aftermath
- Human cost or impact

ACT 4 — REFLECTION (15% of runtime):
- What it means
- What we learned
- Where things stand now
- Final image that resonates

FORMAT THROUGHOUT:
- [B-ROLL: description of footage to show]
- [ARCHIVE: description of archival material]
- [INTERVIEW: suggested interviewee and question]
- Narration in a natural, spoken voice — not academic
- Chapter titles for YouTube timestamps
- End screen CTA
