Crowdfunded. I don't know how good these docs are. In Search of Darkness was over 4 hours.

With four releases over the 1980s (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier), Trek films played a big role for the decade. In Search of Tomorrow director David Weiner spoke to TrekMovie about how he will approach the franchise for the doc:

In addition to the Star Trek talent, In Search of Tomorrow has already lined up an extensive list of ’80s sci-fi icons to appear including Nancy Allen (RoboCop), Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters), John Badham (WarGames, Short Circuit), Shane Black (Predator), Joseph Bottoms (The Black Hole, The Intruder Within), Clancy Brown (Highlander, Buckaroo Banzai), Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Total Recall), John Carpenter (The Thing, Escape From NY), Joe Dante (Innerspace, Gremlins), Bob Gale (Back to the Future trilogy), Lance Guest (The Last Starfighter), and Alex Winter (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure).

In addition to Koenig, the doc is expected to include interviews with people related to Star Trek including Nicholas Meyer, Adam Nimoy, Wil Wheaton, and other relevant artists and Treksperts. Also included will be dozens of interviews with more icons of 1980s sci-fi. Recently added to the list of interviews are Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters), Jesse Ventura (Predator, The Running Man), Peter Weller (Robocop, Buckaroo Banzai), John Dykstra (Star Wars, Star Trek), Bruce Boxleitner (TRON), Adrienne Barbeau (Escape from New York, Swamp Thing), and more.

I've seen a lot of Oliver Harper's retrospectives and they are almost always very good. This is should good, too.

Trailer looks like fun.
