Convinced of what exactly? All the video shows, is that some bacteria survived and multiplied (it doesn't tell us anything about why or how).
Also, I don't think that this is all that controversial. Bacteria have been resistant to antibiotics for millions of years.

As well as bacteria being well suited to such things. For instance morphological plasticity particularly when under stress.
Again, I don't think what was shown here, is very controversial.
Not all bacteria has been resistant only small groups of spieces are, a petri dish somewhere in Russia per se.
And it shows that the bacteria evolved to become resistant to the antibodies.
AAlso If bacteria was resistant, you probably wouldn't live too long.
Use controversy in the right context next time
