‘Bruce Lee & The Outlaw’: A firsthand view of life on the streets of Romania

December 19, 2024

Globally, about 1.2 billion children live in multidimensional poverty, without access to education, health, housing, nutrition, sanitation or water, according to UNICEF. December’s film of the month, Bruce Lee & The Outlaw (2018), highlights this reality in Romania, where street children come together to form a family underground with a man they call their father, known as Bruce Lee. Filmed over six years, the documentary follows young Nicu, a child growing up in extreme poverty, with drugs, and violence, and whose life is at one point saved by the film’s director, Joost Vandebrug. We had the pleasure to speak to Joost and here is what he told us about the film.
