Thank you TEB for sharing this, I watched it last night. The whole film is heartbreaking, but I was very moved by you reading the letter to her family at the end. Seriously made me tear up. I can only wish that they will find peace one day thru their memories of Yingying.
Hello everyone,
Though the documentary “Finding YingYing” does not provide criminal or legal information, I stated a while back that it was a very special film that shows aspects of what happened in a way that I think people might want to see if they are able. I feel like it goes beyond ‘true crime,’ and is deeply personal. Many excerpts from YingYing’s journal are read throughout.
While I was wary of making any post that seemed like any kind of ‘promotion,’ I feel like this is important. It is a chance to see a deeper side of the impact crime has on people and, having viewed it once, it is something I feel is worth sharing with anyone who has been invested in this case and even those who have not. So I hope I’m not overstepping by sharing this here.
The film is now accessible digitally in some regions through film festivals.
There is a link through the Chicago Film Festival which will be available to stream October 14-25 from locations in the United States. There is an additional livestream with the film maker this Friday October 16th at 9pm CST.

Additionally, the film continues to show at other online film festivals shown in this link:

It looks like all of the film festivals will be limited to the US or regions of the US, but the film has been picked up by MTV Documentary films. There is a link to an article describing what that could mean below:

I hope that it will be more widely accessible one day, but it is still ‘on tour’ as an art film even though film festivals have gone digital due to the pandemic.
I hope everyone is staying safe. I don’t want to inundate the thread with promotional materials, but I wanted to at least make sure to make this information available.
