“Life is too short to be ordinary.” —Yingying Zhang diary entry, June 1, 2017

Yingying Zhang, a 26-year-old Chinese student, comes to the U.S. to study. In her detailed and beautiful diaries, the aspiring young scientist and teacher is full of optimism, hoping to also be married and a mother someday. Within weeks of her arrival, Yingying disappears from the campus. Through exclusive access to Yingying’s family and boyfriend, Finding Yingying closely follows their journey as they search to unravel the mystery of their daughter’s disappearance and seek justice while navigating a strange, foreign country. But, most of all, Finding Yingying is the story of who Yingying was: a talented young woman loved by her family and friends.

Finding Yingying is a part of year-round JBFC series Global Watch: Crisis & Social Action.
