"Beyond the Book" Discussion of To Be Takei: A Star's Trek for Life, Liberty and Love (Online Event)

Join us in going "Beyond the Book” and discussing the documentary film To Be Takei: A Star’s Trek for Life, Liberty and Love.  This film is available to stream with your Marion County Public Library Card on BOTH the Hoopla and Kanopy apps.

"From outer space to Capitol Hill, from the silver screen to YouTube, the legendary George Takei has blazed his own trail while conquering new frontiers with a beaming trademark grin. Oh, my! To Be Takei is a look at the many roles played by eclectic 77-year-old actor/activist George Takei. His wit, humor and grace have helped him to become an internationally beloved figure and Internet phenomenon with 7-million Facebook fans and counting. The film offers unprecedented access to the daily life of George and his husband/business partner Brad and chronicles George's fascinating personal journey from Japanese American internment camp to his iconic and groundbreaking role as Sulu on "Star Trek," and his rise as a pop culture icon." -Official site
