While it is certainly a fitting tribute to Nichelle Nichols, it is also a compelling story of the importance of advocating for others. The film shows Nichols to be more than a legendary Star Trek actor and demonstrates her undaunted spirit and tenacity of purpose. Her commitment to bringing women and people of color to the fore at NASA truly shows that the future is for everyone.
More than a simple re-telling of events, this carefully and lovingly constructed film reverberates with humanity and transcendence of spirit. Like Star Trek itself, the story illuminates our desire and ability to reach beyond limitations and explore new possibilities. It exemplifies the spirit of Star Trek, NASA, and Nichelle Nichols, which is to say it exemplifies the best of the human spirit. This is an artfully crafted film that will affect audiences of all types as both education and inspiration.
