Bruce Lee, nach wie vor gewaltigste Martial Arts-Ikone überhaupt, wurde in Hollywood aufgrund seines asiatischen Aussehens in Nebenrollen verheizt und erst nach seiner Rückkehr nach Hong Kong zuerst dort und dann überall zum Superstar. Bao Nguyens emphatische, intelligente und mit Dutzenden raren Archiv-Materialien ausgestattete Dokumentation erforscht die außergewöhnliche spirituelle Ausprägung seiner Kampfkunst mit dem Mantra Be Water im Zentrum und lässt Zeitgenoss*innen, Familie und Freund*innen über die Kraft und Wirkmacht dieses Schlüssel-Künstlers des 20. Jahrhunderts erzählen.
