Star Trek has done a lot when it comes to representation in film, acting as a platform to tell futuristic allegorical tales that are meant to highlight topical issues. They do this frequently, from exploring the idea of relearning humanity after trauma, to questioning whether holographic or synthetic life has any human (for want of a better word) rights at all. They don’t always get it right — for example, when it comes to the Ferengi. But one such notable moral quandary comes into play in full force during Star Trek: Voyager.
