Strict and pointwise convergence of BV functions in metric spaces

In the setting of a metric space $X$ equipped with a doubling measure that supports a Poincar'e inequality, we show that if $u_i\to u$ strictly in $BV(X)$, i.e. if $u_i\to u$ in $L^1(X)$ and $\Vert Du_i\Vert(X)\to\Vert Du\Vert(X)$,thenforasubsequence(notrelabeled)wehave$\widetilde{u}_i(x)\to \widetilde{u}(x)$for$\mathcal H$-almostevery$x\in X\setminus S_u$.
