Be Water—Sunday, June 7, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ESPN
Continuing ESPN’s 30 for 30 documentary series is Be Water, an interesting look into Bruce Lee’s life and career. Told entirely by his family, friends, and collaborators—along with a trove of archival footage—Be Water paints an intimate portrait of Lee’s all-too-short legacy in the film industry. From his childhood in Hong Kong and his life in Seattle and Los Angeles, to his return to Hong Kong to make the films that would turn him into a legend, Be Water is a must-see for fans of the charismatic actor.
