The long-brewing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine documentary What We Left Behind, which fans have been waiting to see for several years now, is finally headed to theaters for a nationwide screening in the United States this spring.
Revealed this weekend by Fathom Events — the same company who distributed the three Star Trek: The Next Generation Blu-ray remastering screenings in 2012 and 2013 — is hosting What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek DS9 in theaters across the country just five weeks from now, for one night only, on May 13.
The limited information we can glean from the Fathom Events page indicates that attendees will receive both a limited-edition 11×17-inch poster, as well as get a chance to watch a roundtable discussion about the making of the documentary — the listed runtime of the documentary, expected to be complete with fully remastered, full-HD clips from Deep Space Nine, is set at 2 hours, 10 minutes.
As far as plans for international availability goes, that’s just one of many details yet to be available about the project — the documentary team noted on social media today that this theatrical announcement rolled out to the public ahead of their preferred schedule, so details on worldwide viewing opportunities (including digital and Blu-ray releases to fundraiser backers) is likely to follow sometime soon.
UPDATE: The documentary team has announced that Indiegogo backers will have access to a digital stream of What We Left Behind on April 25.
