Since there wasn't a breakdown in the OP, I'll save you some time.
Narrated by some granola looking bed-head that's not about to be marriage material because she comes from a broken home. The wall is just around the bend.
Opening images of emotionally devastated women that delivers the message that men are leaving their wives on the curb for Friday garbage pickup, the poor women just hope they can see their kids again.
Interview with a Divorce lawyer who is banking. States it is a billion dollar industry. He is divorced. Delivers message about why people should/do come see him. First thing mentioned is happiness. "Life is short, go be happy." Then mentions, abuse, drug addiction, and if HE is cheating.
Logical narration about how people are now avoiding marriage, then head to the Catholic church. Typical marriage vow talk that most people forget the day after they say it. No solutions.
Waste of time interview with gold digging plastic blonde. She's not a gold digger, but he isn't marrying her any time soon. Met at a restaurant that requires you to buy a table for a year (I think they said it was $26k).
Divorce parties. Illusion that these are just "Freedom Fests". Go to some shitty looking building and talk to a fat man about how he has a sound proof party room that can accommodate 600 people. Website is in hot pink lettering. All details referring to women- headless groom cake topper, penis piñata, etc.
Divorce hotel. Upscale place for $5k you can come in married on a Friday and divorced on Sunday. Interview with American couple. Obvious she initiated. Complete with spa to "wash away your sins".
Dr. Undo Tattoo, to get cleaned up for the future single life.
That's about it, from memory.
Not one single mention of the divorce initiation rate. Very convenient. From the video, 50% of marriages fail, and they do no justice to specify that it is not a coin flip on who is serving the papers.
If I messed up any of the numbers, I did not intend to... I was making mental notes. However, I believe they are correct.
That should save you about 22 minutes of your life unless you are just bored.
That was a pretty solid breakdown, and I watched the video (and listened to some in the background).
TLDR; don't get married
