If that contains relevant facts, why not just cite them instead of asking people to watch a 30-minute political video?

In this case, because context and presentation is important, and I don't do as good of a job of it. It presents a cohesive whole, whereas me simply saying "More women attempt suicide than men, but men choose more violent methods that are more likely to result in death." removes a single point of your post, but not the overall worldview presented in your post.

I think you may find that the highly politicized context and presentation in that video only does a good job at preaching to the choir.
