In and among all the various livestreams from Star Trek celebrities that have been going on for the past few weeks, there’s one coming up tomorrow that you definitely don’t want to miss. Roddenberry Entertainment is hosting a viewing party for Trek Nation, the 2011 documentary looking at the positive impact that Star Trek has had on people’s lives, as seen through the eyes of Gene Roddenberry’s son, Rod. Rod Roddenberry, along with fellow Trek offspring Adam Nimoy will offer up commentary on the documentary as they watch along with fans.

Trek Nation was originally conceived as a way for Rod Roddenberry to connect with his late father. But the end result is a documentary that saw Rod trekking across America and learning about the legacy of Star Trek through conversations with the actors who made it happen, plus fans, friends, and others. The Trek Nation website says that it’s “a journey to understand one of the world’s largest cultural phenomenons, the man behind it, and the legacy he’s left us all.”

The watchalong starts at 6pm PT on Friday, May 29th, at facebook.com/roddenberry. You’ll need to have the movie queued up, and Rod and Adam will tell you when to press play. Trek Nation is available for streaming on CuriosityStream, or you can rent or buy it from Amazon or iTunes. Come and enjoy Trek Nation with “The Sons of Star Trek”, Friday at 6pm PT, on Facebook.
