An engaging documentary that not only entertains, but paints a portrait of the largest, most amazing fan phenomenon in pop culture history. For 30 years the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise has entertained millions of fans around the world. But what clearly sets STAR TREK apart is the fan phenomenon it has created, a group of people who have come to be known as "Trekkies." Interviews with the original cast are intercut with the Trekkies, as Denise Crosby leads the viewer on a journey giving an overview of this multi-faceted phenomenon: the conventions, the costumes, the fan clubs, and of course, the fans. Often hilarious, sometimes touching, definitely fascinating! DIR Roger Nygard EXEC PROD Michael Leahy, Joel Soisson PROD Keith Border DP Harris Done ED Roger Nygard
