The video is an old one about Katrina. I need it for homework. I have tried accessing it from CNN's website but CNN in their infinite wisdom put DRM on the video that is publicly available, and I assume that is why it doesn't work on mull, librewolf, or chromium (all show same error about neon request failed). I looked on the generic torrent sites to no avail. Any response would help, the questions are very specific to the video and it is due soon.

If you had time I would say to try contacting CNN directly. Most news outlets don’t mind sharing old reports. Can take a while though.

Another option would be to contact the reporter who did the report as they might save such things for whatever reason or might be willing to put you in touch with the outlet’s archive department, but again might take a while.

But since time is an issue, YouTube may be your best bet.
