The documentary, directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, will premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Texas. Shatner’s daughters, Leslie, Lisabeth, and Melanie, have also been featured in the documentary. In 2014, Shatner spoke to The Guardian about his grandchildren and how being a grandparent has brought him the greatest joy in life. He said that he takes the time to talk to them, hug and kiss them, and share with them some of the things he has learned throughout his illustrious career.

Shatner recently made headlines after reuniting with his ex-wife, Elizabeth Martin, three years after their $2 million split. The couple attended the Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Beverly Hills in January and spoke candidly about their rekindled passion. Shatner revealed that Elizabeth is the zest of life, while she described their relationship as “cinnamon.” In March 2020, Shatner and Elizabeth settled their divorce. Shatner kept his Studio City home and ranch in Three Rivers, California, while Elizabeth received their properties in Malibu Cove and Versailles, Kentucky, as well as a share of her family farm in Indiana.
