Rejected by Hollywood, Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong to complete four films. Charting his struggles in two worlds, BE WATER explores questions of identity and representation through rare archive, intimate interviews, and his writings. Directed by Bao Nguyen and with a cast of family and friends including the likes of Diana Lee Inosanto and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the film cleverly incorporates archival footage for a close look at the life and philosophy of Martial Arts Master, Bruce Lee, who despite his short career, made a monumental impact on American culture, and the fight for inclusion and social justice, breaking stereotypes in a society that wasn’t ready for an Asian hero. “Be Water doesn't feel like a sports doc at all; you walk away from it convinced that Bruce Lee was an artist more than anything else.” - Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture
