If I’m remembering right, the BE video had some true information (like legitimate sources), but the biggest problem was with how he interpreted what he saw through the absurd mental gymnastics of the western propaganda machine (one example I remember was him saying that a video of Uyghurs performing cultural dances for a reporter means their culture must be suppressed the rest of the time). There are way more informed sources out there.
Do you know of any better videos/sources on Xinjiang? I’m realizing most of my knowledge is from that video which is problematic.
there was a thread the other day with some sources and info https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9258972
This video has an actual Uyghur talking about her life experience and addressing some of the western lies: https://youtu.be/a1po9oTVtYw
This also has a lot of information and sources: https://redsails.org/the-xinjiang-atrocity-propaganda-blitz/

Additionally, Daniel Dumbrill, the other guest in the YouTube video, has done a bunch of debunking. Any video with him would be a good resource.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
