Time Bomb Y2K offers a multifaceted look at a global crisis by bringing together various social groups. It uses archival footage to capture a broad range of societal archetypes, from technical experts to religious figures. The film avoids a single, traditional perspective by showcasing the friction between systemic structures and diverse human responses. However, it does not explicitly focus on identity politics, and lacks specific data on intentional representation regarding gender, race, or LGBTQ+ characters.

Official Synopsis
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.
