Hey gang, we just reported on an interview with Rod Roddenberry for his upcoming documentary Trek Nation. Like we've said before, we're eagerly anticipating this film and look forward to seeing it grace the screen. Looks like a release date has finally been set for November 30th, 2011 on Science. If that's not enough to peak your interest, Science and Roddenberry Productions just released a brand new clip that features Rod talking with Bob Justman and several other Trek alumni. We're super stoked to see the release, too bad we have to wait until November.

In an interview with Live Fit Magazine and recorded at San Diego Comic Con, Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry talks about the forthcoming documentary Trek Nation that's set for release this fall. As many of you know, Science Channel and Roddenberry Productions are partnering to release Trek Nation in October November to be aired on Science. Honestly, we've been looking forward to Trek Nation since we first heard about it back in 2005. It's been a long time coming, but we really do feel that this will be the Trek fan documentary to watch.

“Trek Nation strikes a strong balance between exploring a science fiction phenomenon and relating a very universal story between a son and his father. I have every confidence that Star Trek fans and non-Star Trek fans alike are going to enjoy the film." Says Rod. Along with Trek Nation, Live Fit discussed Rod's other passion, scuba Diving.

Trek Nation, the long anticipated documentary by Rod Roddenberry is headed to the Science Channel.  We've been reporting on the doc for sometime and it's great to hear that all Trek fans, alike, will be able to get an inside look at the Roddenberry family and legacy.  As reported by TV Guide, Science Channel is partnering with Rod to air the doc which he describes as "a journey to discovery who my father is... The man behind the myth".

"He's got the keys to the Roddenberry treasure of never-before-seen footage," says the channel's general manager, Debbie Myers. Adds executive producer Bernadette McDaid: "There's footage of Gene's wedding, which has never been seen, as well as footage from the first-ever Star Trek convention... we helped them take this treasure trove and shape it into a two-hour narrative. This is the ultimate first-hand testimony."

Rod explains talks about the journey of making Trek Nation; "My father passed away when I was 17. I was a rebellious kid, and he was more of an authority figure than a father. I didn't understand Star Trek until he passed away... but then I went to Star Trek conventions, and talked to people, and eventually became so proud of the name 'Roddenberry.'"

Trek Nation will air on Science in October
