Living and Working in Space: The Countdown Has Begun (1993)
Gerard K. O'Neill's last interview
You have to take this for what it is, part of a classroom series on the future for kids in middle and high school. These types of things are rarely high art but if you hare interested in this subject, there are far worse videos to check out.
What is very interesting about this one is that they did get the important people of the day in the industry to do the backgrounders.
Also, this features many parts of the last interview with Dr. Gerard K. O'Neill (Princeton University Nuclear Physicist, Inventor of Storage-Ring technology that is used in every particle accelerator, inventor of of the Triad and GeoStar system that did then what GPS does now. Also O'Neill is known for doing the detailed work on and popularization of large Space Habitats, he created the Mass-Driver concept and brought together Peter Glaser and Bill Brown together to make Solar Power Satellites an understandable technology). For these interviews alone, it is worth watching and accepting the not-great acting segments.
Worth it, taken for what it is.
