Synopsis:
In 1979, the linguist, Marc Okrand, began to develop the Klingon language for the first feature-length film, 'Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan'. And so, the first language ever to emerge from outer space was born. Earthlings boldly goes where no documentary has gone before and explores the lives of the fans for whom Klingon has become an obsession. Marvel as Dr. Lawrence M. Schoen, director of the Klingon Language Institute, and musician Rich Yampell, composer of the 'Klingon Anthem', reveal what the 'language of contained fury' means to them.
Meet the acting troupe who translate the works of William Shakespeare and the lovelorn postal worker who lives his life by the Klingon code of values and the father who taught his son to speak Klingon from birth. Learn what Worf, Michael Dorn, makes of it all in this fascinating documentary.
