"If I lose my daughter, I lose everything." MTV Doc Films has debuted the trailer for Finding Yingying, a documentary made by Chinese filmmaker Jiayan 'Jenny' Shi. After a young Chinese student goes missing on an American university campus in Illinois, her family travels to the U.S. for the first time, hoping to unravel the mystery of her disappearance. This heartbreaking film is partially a "true crime" doc figuring out what happened to Yingying (spoiler: it's not good) and subsequently how devastating this is to her family and everyone that knew her. It's a film that shows how many lives are connected to one life. Instead of spending too much time on the tragedy itself, Shi wants to show us how one life connects with others, and how we need to relish and admire that connection. The way the local community comes together in support of her is really moving. I caught this film as part of DOC NYC this year and couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks. ›››
