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. Many nations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa can also see it on ESPN Player, the broadcaster’s dedicated online platform in those regions. From Algeria to Zimbabwe, there are more 50 African nations, along with 53 in Europe and 14 across the Middle East that can access the player. There is also long list of Asian nations that can get the service, but Hong Kong and China are not among them. This will remind some sports fans of the recent Michael Jordan ESPN-Netflix documentary series The Last Dance , which was available on ESPN in the US and on Netflix globally. However, Netflix users in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan could not see the show and had to await local distribution deals. Bruce Lee exposé looks to delve into actor’s battles with racism Asia’s Bruce Lee fans can watch ESPN Player in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. ESPN’s media department did not respond to the Post ’s request for if and when Be Water would be shown in Hong Kong, nor did Fox Sports Asia, the home of ESPN programming on Asian cable and satellite television. The schedules for Fox Sports, how ESPN was rebranded in Asia and the home of 30 for 30 in the region, do not show any screenings for Be Water . VPN services may allow you to get around these geographic restrictions.
