ESPN's Bruce Lee '30 for 30: Be Water' Leaves Us Thirsty For More

Описание к видео ESPN's Bruce Lee '30 for 30: Be Water' Leaves Us Thirsty For More

Lee’s talent should've earned him lead roles in Hollywood. But an industry that regularly put white actors in yellowface wouldn't invest in an Asian actor.

“Be Water,” ESPN’s “30 for 30” docuseries on Bruce Lee, leaves no doubt that Hollywood was wrong. “Hollywood is racist, because America is racist”. Lee’s talent and charisma should have earned him lead roles in Hollywood — or how the industry’s history of marginalizing people of color relegated him to playing a sidekick.

The film opens with archival footage of a young Lee performing martial arts moves during a screen test. But to become a leading man in the U.S., Lee would still have to achieve superstardom abroad first.
