In 1971, after being rejected by Hollywood, Bruce Lee returned to his parents’ homeland of Hong Kong to complete four iconic films. Charting his struggles between two worlds, this portrait explores questions of identity and representation through the use of rare archival footage, interviews with loved ones and Bruce’s own writings.

[FF Gent] A portrait of Bruce Lee from the family point of view. It is therefore a distorted, white and neat version of the character, which does not delve into more controversial aspects of the character. The film works in its description of that atmosphere of racism implicit in the Hollywood of the seventies, in which Bruce Lee did not get more than supporting and stereotyped roles. And also in the stateless feeling of the actor, too Eastern in the United States and too Western in Hong Kong. But as a Bruce Lee profile it is incomplete and manipulative.
