For decades everyone, including Bruce Lee, believed his European ancestry was German Catholic. “Bruce Lee: A Life” by Matthew Polly reveals the martial arts megastar was actually descended from a Jewish butcher in Rotterdam Holland.

BimBam was thrilled to work with Matthew Polly on this short and we hope you love it.
