Finding Yingying (2020)

Finding Yingying: Directed by Jiayan ‘Jenny’ Shi. After a young Chinese student goes missing on an American university campus, her family travels to the U.S. for the first time, hoping to unravel the mystery of her disappearance.

“This is an interesting documentary but it did leave out some pertinent facts, perhaps intentionally.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe documentary mentions that perhaps Brendt went after Yingying because she is Asian and meek. Why didnu0026#39;t they mention that he also tried to abduct a girl earlier that day and that girl was a blonde blue-eyed American girl? Seems them divulging that would go against the political narrative.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey also failed to mention that Brendtu0026#39;s wife left on a trip with her lover the day of the abduction and took him to the same resort/hotel as she spent with Brendt for their honeymoon. While this of course doesnu0026#39;t absolve Brendt of guilt in the murder of Yingying, it does shed light on to why he started developing psychological issues for which he sought treatment, and why he abducted and killed a girl that day.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are countless other omissions and I canu0026#39;t but feel at least some of them were intentional.”
