The auction in progress
Star Trek: Beyond the Final Frontier was a documentary about Star Trek fandom presented by The History Channel on 19 February 2007. It was hosted by Leonard Nimoy and focused mainly on Christie's 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction.
The documentary was later that year included as a special feature on the November TOS-R Season 1 HD DVD home media release, but has not been ported over to its 2009 Blu-ray Disc successor, nor has it been included in any of the later DVD releases.
