Woman in Motion: Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek and the Remaking of NASA is now available for audiences to watch from the comfort of their home. The documentary focuses on Nichelle Nichols’s work not so much on Star Trek but a career in science. This doesn’t happen without one particular Star Trek convention in 1975.
