DS9 documentary on the big screen (fathom events)

[archersangel]

Deep Space Nine is described as “dark,” “edgy,” and “the black sheep” of the Star Trek family – a show that did not fit in Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the future. 20 years after it left the airwaves, fans all over the world continue to watch Deep Space Nine with the same affection they feel for the other Star Trek series.

Through extensive interviews with cast and creators, show footage presented in HD for the first time anywhere, and brand-new animated storyboards showing what could have been and what still might be, directors Ira Steven Behr (showrunner of the original series) and David Zappone (Star Trek docs The Captains and For the Love of Spock), bring you What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, an in-depth look at this beloved show, its fans, and its ongoing appeal to Trekkies of all ages.

This one-night event will include an exclusive two-sided poster (11x17, limited quantities) as well as a roundtable discussion on the making of the documentary.

Ohhhh man, I wish I could go. I hope it joins it's cousins on netflix soon (I think they're still there, anyway).

While DS9 is frankly more "human" than most of the shows overall in that it's darker... I still can't believe people think it betrays Gene when its ultimate lesson is that there is always hope even if it doesn't show up in a nice, morally good package. We can work together for the better, always.

At least for me the daring to slip into darker corners of the Federation made it a more possible, realistic future (not that we're likely to run into Vulcans etc but, you know what I mean I hope). They're still us, flawed, confused, confusing beings... but they fight for the best life for each other, even when there's no light to be found.
