Daughter Dearest
11 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
As a constant reader of true crime, I had read A Daughter's Deadly Deception last year and was familiar with this story. Jennifer Pan is the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants to Canada who pushed their offspring to be the best at everything in life.

The overprotective couple opposed of Jennifer's choice of a drug dealing boyfriend and it led to her mother's death by gunshot. Her father survived and was able to contradict his sweet looking daughter's witness statements to the police.

Much of the film uses actual video footage of a clearly uncomfortable Jennifer spinning her BS story of the crime. The book was too repetitive for my taste, with constant use of the text messages between Jen and her boyfriend and the documentary should have included a current interview with Jennifer.
