Trek Tuesday

Rod Roddenberry: You know what people always told my, told me my father was a visionary, a genius, these sort of things. I did a documentary that came out in 20, 2012 called Trek Nation where it was important to me to humanize my father because everyone put him so high up on a pedestal. And it’s Almost. It’s really hard to identify with someone like that. But bringing him down to a more human, palatable sort of form allowed me as a son to connect more. And I hope for audience members they could see him and all his flaws, but still realize he was still an incredibly brilliant thinker who thought about the future of humanity, saw the worst that we could be and saw the best that we could be. And people presented him as a futurist. And I would say that’s 100% it because his perspective was always 50 to 100 years ahead of us.
