Time Bomb Y2K

MKE Film Festival

As the year 2000 approached, widespread fear arose that a code glitch would result in all the world's computers reverting to 1900 and all systems grinding to a halt. Using all archival footage, co-directors Brian Becker and Marley McDonald document the frenzied hysteria surrounding the countdown from doomsday preppers to politics and pop culture. TIME BOMB Y2K is a wild ride through the final days of the '90s and a compelling portrait of a turning point in the digital revolution.
