There are countless documentaries out there about the late Bruce Lee's career and life. If you haven't seen any yet, Pete McCormack might be a good place to start.

The new doc, “I Am Bruce Lee,” sees limited release on February 9 and, to promote it, a trailer has just been released.

By the looks of it, the film will be a mix of footage from the few interviews Bruce gave in his lifetime and tributes from celebrities who consider themselves fans.

The bits of interview included in the trailer are from an 1971 appearance on the Pierre Berton Show.

“The amazing story of Bruce Lee, one of the most iconic human beings ever to enter the public consciousness,” the synopsis of the doc says.

“The film is a compelling and visually stunning uncovering of Bruce’s life, his enormous impact, and his ever-expanding legacy in the world of martial arts, entertainment, and beyond – despite his tragic and sudden death at the age of 32,” it is also said.

“I Am Bruce Lee” also promises some surprises with the inclusion of footage rarely or never seen before, and classic photos of the late martial arts master.
