While I anticipated liking this documentary, I came away deeply impressed with its honesty, its raw and authentic emotion, its narrative flow, and its creativity (the Writer's Room sequences are fascinating and yield a pretty viable episode one and starting point to a bingeable new season 20 years later). I have to knock it down one star for The absence of new interview footage with Avery Brooks; he only appears via older, archival footage. That's not Behr's fault since Brooks embargoes just about any interviews or appearances regarding DS9 and Star Trek. But this documentary cries out for two or three new scenes with Brooks' deadpan, fiercely intelligent comments and criticism, plus the chance to see him interact with his old cast mates. But damn, even without new Brooks footage this is still good, and I expect the Blu-Ray with extras will be worth purchasing sometime down the road.
