I loved Flash Gordon (1936 serial) when I was a kid. Every episode -- every episode -- ended with a situation where you just knew that Flash (or one of the other principal characters) were dead, dead, dead.

And the next week would start with a slightly different camera angle so you could see how they escaped.

I think the mods are wrong about whether this is a "documentary". Yes, it is short, but that doesn't violate any of the stated rules for the sub.

It does give insight into something I had never thought about before. She's 84 and I'm 73 ... and my wife is 77. This made me think about a woman's aging body and how that affects her view of the world and of herself. That's more than many other "documentaries" do, regardless of length.

So my unasked for opinion is ... this is a documentary, and this is the correct sub for it. Maybe it's the guidelines that need to be revisited and refined.
