ArtsEmerson + Boston Asian American Film Festival Present: Water Mirror Echo
Boston, Mass 02111 United States
Join us for an evening with author Jeff Chang.
As the best-known martial artist and one of the most celebrated action stars ever, Bruce Lee is a global icon. He symbolizes swagger, strength, and the unbeatable spirit of the underdog. But in more than fifty years since his untimely death at age thirty-two, the legend has eclipsed the real man. He emerged as a star in an era when Asian Americans were fighting against exclusion and invisibility. Water Mirror Echo reveals the Bruce many never saw and places his complicated life within a revolution from which it cannot be separated: the emergence of Asian America. An unflinching, page-turning biography, here is the story of how Bruce became a hero not just for Asian Americans, but also for anyone who has ever felt invisible.
Preceded by a brief excerpt of Be Water (Bao Nguyen, 2020)!
