What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

What We Left Behind (2018) is a documentary about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by David Zappone and Ira Steven Behr, it assembles virtually the full original cast — Avery Brooks, Terry Farrell, Michael Dorn, Nana Visitor, René Auberjonois — to track how DS9 went from the franchise's overlooked sibling to something genuinely beloved.

The film moves between candid retrospective interviews and something rarer: the show's original writers reconvened on camera to break a hypothetical eighth season from scratch. Watching them pitch in real time is the film's sharpest pleasure. For anyone who spent time on that station, this is worth every minute. Stream What We Left Behind online on iFILM.
