It's not really a documentary, more commentary with background images to make it seem relevant. Notice the music choices and editing to really try and make images of boring and normal lockers and classrooms seem sinister. Notice that it is the narrator making most of the allegations and how very short the edited-in clips of "responses" are. Not one "interview" segment shown was longer than 10 seconds.

Example: "[China want you to believe those at the vocational center are] being willingly guided away from extremism" with a cut to video of a 360 surveillance camera outside. How sinister and coercive! Surely London doesn't have these on virtually every street falsehoodsS they do regularly lie in that "documentary" via the narrator. For example, the vast majority of people went home every day and the documentary literally shows this with buses but doesn't provide a commentary to note the inconsistency.

This is actually a very good test case for sharpening your skills at critically engaging with propaganda. Can you spot any other examples of msnipulation, misleading statements, or falswhoods in the video?

lol this BBC?

Here is a complete dismantling of this propaganda piece.

BBC is not a credible news source, they're an orientalist rag / tabloid journalism.
