For the Love of Spock (2016)

Not unlike Trek Nation (2011) did for its subject, FtLoS is a documentary in which a son looks upon the career of his father and in so doing reflects upon their time together and what they meant to each other. For Dir. Adam Nimoy, whose famous father was loved by millions of people the world over, it's both a professional and personal journey, and ultimately a celebration of both the man Leonard and the incomputable legacy that he left behind.
Incorporating newly filmed interviews with family members, old Super-8 home movie footage, magazine articles and TV interviews it paints a picture of Leonard's beliefs regarding his famous Star Trek character and compares it with what it meant to the fans, through responses and testimonials.
Note: there's a lot of spoilers for TOS episodes, if you've not seen them.
