Trek Nation Review: A Journey Of A Son And A World

Trek Nation follows the Star Trek philosophy with a son “going boldly where he had never gone before” as Rod Roddenberry finds his father in the legacy he left behind. This documentary is one of discovery. Not only do the viewers get inside views on the mind and thoughts of Gene Roddenberry, but we also see his son, Rod, finding a father he never knew. There have been many Star Trek focused documentaries over the years but Trek Nation is the first this reviewer has seen that goes from the beginning to the end. Well, at least the end of a man’s life but Star Trek and Gene Roddenberry will live on in the legacy…

Tim Griffin Talks About Star Trek: “Dying for J. J. Abrams Was An Honor”

With the 45th Anniversary of Star Trek coming up, we sat down with Tim Griffin for an exclusive interview to talk about what the series and the movies meant to him.
