This stellar documentary reveals the exceptional life of George Takei - the Star Trek legend and outspoken LGBTIQ advocate. Now 76, nine years after formally coming out, Takei and his manager-husband of 25 years, Brad Takei, have become a poster couple for marriage equality.
To Be Takei follows Takei and Brad as they prepare for Takei’s dream project, Allegiance, a musical based on his harrowing childhood experiences inside a Japanese-American internment camp. Filmmakers Jennifer Kroot and Bill Weber expertly navigate this day-to-day look at how this remarkable couple create a balance between work and play, their lives as private and public figures, and Takei’s personal and career history.
"A unique blend of camp and conviction, To Be Takei deftly showcases George Takei's eclectic personality and wildly disparate achievements, from Star Trek crewmate to gay-rights activist." - Variety
