Looting and return debates — labeled fairly, sources on screen

A 5-beat faceless video outline for “Looting and return debates — labeled fairly, sources on screen” in the Museum object stories niche, derived from caption timing of 1 reference videos.

Angles

• Open in the gallery (millions of visitors) then follow one object's path
• Present the acquisition history with sources, and both sides of the return debate
• Close on the ongoing process rather than a verdict

Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): the museum's scale; 'follow one object out of the case'.
2. Provenance (0:30–2:30): how it was acquired (documented events).
3. Debate (2:30–4:30): museum position vs claimant position, fairly summarized.
4. Current status: loans, returns, legal limits.
5. Recap + what to look for on labels. Original narration only.
