Not enough people would believe them. Prejudice against orcs is strong, so they needed to build direct empathy.What I don't understand is that sure they used the video to make the orc look like a victim to the people to save the son but like why couldn't they just have stated that the kid fell off the fucking bridge for being a dumbass???? while I liked this 1st chapter I just feel like everything could've been solved had they just told the truth like that
