Be Water is a 2020 documentary film made by Bao Nguyen. The film premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. It focuses on martial artist Bruce Lee and uses large amounts of archival footage. The documentary covers Lee's time in Hong Kong during his two years of filming four feature films. It is included in ESPN's 30 for 30 series and addresses racism in America. In a GQ interview, Nguyen discussed how this film symbolizes protest and matches current cultural trends, as many other Asian-American films are being released at the same time. By February 19, 2021, the film appeared on Netflix. It received the Gold List Award in 2021.
