Production
The documentary was conceived in 2001, although Rod Roddenberry said in interviews that the concept began with the death of his father, Gene Roddenberry, in 1991. He stated that the film was based on discovering his father rather than Star Trek in general. It was shot by Rod Roddenberry between 2001 and 2010, he said that "I'd never done a documentary before. This was 10 years of trying to figure out what to do. We made mistakes all the way."[1] Trek Nation was produced by Roddenberry Entertainment and New Animal Productions, with Roddenberry, Trevor Roth and Nicole Rittenmeyer as executive producers.[2]
It was created as an antithesis to the 1997 documentary Trekkies, and was intended not to concentrate as heavily on costumed fans of Star Trek.[3]
Trek Nation was first broadcast in the United States on the television channel Science on November 30, 2011.[4] It was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on the channel Quest on July 29, 2012.[citation needed]
Reception
John Tenuto of TrekNews.net wrote " it is rare that after 45 years, any Star Trek documentary could present surprising information or genuine emotional content considering all that has precede it. Trek Nation achieves both results."[5] Jana J. Monji of RogerEbert.com described it as a "somewhat indulgent documentary".[6]
The documentary was released as two disc DVD on 9 July 2013.[7]
