Time Bomb Y2K
The end of the world as we knew it.
Directed by Marley McDonald, Brian Becker
Produced by HBO Documentary Films, Spinning Nancy
A wryly observant archival documentary that captures the collective anxiety and absurdity of Y2K panic through the voices of those who lived it.
As the clock counted down to the the 21st century, the world faced a potential technological disaster: a bug that could cause computers to misinterpret the year 2000 as 1900. Crafted entirely from archival footage and featuring first-hand accounts from computer experts, survivalists, scholars, militia groups, conservative Christians, and pop icons, Time Bomb Y2K is a prescient and often humorous tale about the power and vulnerabilities of technology.
