Be Water: how to watch Bruce Lee’s 30 for 30 documentary
- Shades of The Last Dance as ESPN Player not available in Hong Kong and no sign of show on satellite schedules
- Documentary focuses on Lee’s return to the city from Hollywood in 1971 when he would make career-defining films
Excitement is building for the latest in the ESPN 30 for 30 series in which director Boa Nguyen focuses the lens on martial arts superstar Bruce Lee.
San Francisco-born Lee’s family, friends and students speak about his life and legacy in Be Water, a 144-minute documentary that was shown at this year’s Sundance Festival.
Nguyen looks at the time following Lee’s return to Hong Kong from Hollywood in 1971 and the two years that followed, when he made the four films that have defined him.
The one-off documentary debuts on ESPN in the US on Sunday night (9pm Eastern Time), which is Monday morning in Asia (9am Hong Kong Time).
So how can you watch it? Assuming you are outside the US, anyone with access to a US-based ESPN subscription can see it on ESPN+, the broadcaster’s streaming platform.
ESPN also confirmed in May that Be Water would be screened on ESPN Africa, although fans will have to wait a week to see Lee in action as it only screens on June 13.
