DS9 Documentary Blu-Ray/DVD Release Date And Details

Those who backed the DS9 documentary, What We Left Behind, and fans who are waiting to purchase the documentary, have received news about the release date and special features on the DVD/Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases. Plus: Select European screening of What We Left Behind!

For the documentary backers, expect your DVD/Blu-ray combo pack in early July. And yes, this will include *all* international shipments. The release will come approximately one month before the commercial North American release on August 6th.

The regular release (DVD, Blu-ray) will be on August 6 in the U.S. and Canada only. A special Blu-ray release from Shout! Factory will also debut in the U.S. and Canada, and will include an extra disc that has two specials not available in the regular release. One of those specials is an extended version of one including in the backer’s version, but  sorry project backers, you’ve been screwed. To get that extended version, you have to pony up an extra $29.99 for the special Blu-ray release. (Can you tell I’m not happy about this after being a backer?)

Anyhow – here are the details for all of the releases:
