This is an interesting documentary but it did leave out some pertinent facts, perhaps intentionally.
The documentary mentions that perhaps Brendt went after Yingying because she is Asian and meek. Why didn'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.
They also failed to mention that Brendt'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 doesn'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.
There are countless other omissions and I can't but feel at least some of them were intentional.

Interesting documentary but left out a lot
Welcome to the USA!
If this story doesnt make you extremely angry while sad at the same time, youre utterly inhuman. These types of sadistic predators need to be put down once and for all rather than living out their days in comfort on society's dime. Let this be a lesson and warning to any and all around the globe, never ever send your kids to any school in the USA, public, private or otherwise. DOJ/FBI statistics clearly show that these deranged sociopaths are literally everywhere, from middle school through university. Sad.
A Compelling Documentary That May Leaped Into Sadness
"Finding Yingying" is compelling, touching and very emotional. The documentary has many moments that will touch you. No matter if you have a family or not, the film is going to leave you thinking about life, family and the importance of closeness.
It's a small indie film that will most likely be ignored from other films, but it seems that we have gotten a hidden little gem here.
