How Bruce Lee Changed the World



We caught the premiere of How Bruce Lee Changed the World on the History Channel yesterday. (Watch this documentary if you get the chance. Here's a few posts on Bruce Lee the past year: Remembering the 35th anniversary of Bruce Lee's Death, The Legend of Bruce Lee TV series, Nokia N96 commercials with Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks and lighting matches with nunchucks.)

Bruce Lee is universally recognized for prying open the doors of ancient Chinese martial arts to the mass market. The history of Lee's life, and death at the age of only 32, is shrouded in mystery, but his influence on popular culture continues to be felt today. This special pieces together rare family archival footage owned by the Bruce Lee Foundation, together with in-depth interviews with individuals who have cited inspiration from Lee.

Viewers will journey across the US, Asia and Europe exploring Lee's influence on popular culture worldwide--even joining Shannon Lee on a trip back to her father's roots in Hong Kong; nearly fifty years after Lee arrived to make his first kung fu film. Also features in-depth interviews with actor Jackie Chan, comedian Eddie Griffin, rappers LL Cool J and RZA, Marvel Comics' Stan Lee, and renowned film directors John Woo and Brett Ratner. Lee's friend and business partner famed Hong Kong film producer, Raymond Chow gives a rare interview.

Look for airtime here.
