Be Water is a 2020 documentary film directed by Bao Nguyen. It premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.[1] It is about Bruce Lee, a famous martial artist, and it uses significant amounts of archival footage, focusing on Lee's two years in Hong Kong spent filming four feature films.[2] It is part of ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series and the film tackles racism in America.[3][4][5] In a GQ interview, Nguyen talks about how this film represents protest and fits the zeitgeist, with many more Asian-American films being released as contemporaries.[6]
