Few people have inspired us to strive for a better future more than Sir Patrick Stewart Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard. He exemplified a future humanity of dignity and honor, respect and justice. He was not perfect but was always striving to be a better person and a better captain. We have been profoundly affected by his portayals across so many important shows and movies. We were lucky enough to be in attendance in 2012 to take this video with Sir Patrick Stewart, Kate Mulgrew, and William Shatner. Thank you for all the inspiration across the decades.
