Trekkies

The film portrays the convention circuit as a safe space for people who don't conform to traditional gender and sexual norms. Though it doesn’t focus on specific LGBTQ+ character stories, it highlights a place where gender and sexuality can be expressed freely.

Women are shown as key figures in the fandom, demonstrating strong intellect and leadership. This portrayal challenges typical gender hierarchies by emphasizing the importance of female voices and expertise.

The documentary includes a diverse cast that reflects the multicultural spirit of the Star Trek universe. It avoids showing a homogenous white group, instead presenting a range of ethnicities and backgrounds.
