Synopsis

Ticking Time Bomb: The Truth Behind Takata Airbags is a documentary that exposes the deadly consequences of Takata Corporation's defective airbags. Showcasing evidence of a corporate cover-up, the film follows the Takata whistleblower and former engineers as they uncover the truth behind the airbags and the massive recall that followed. From BMWs to Teslas to Ferraris, this recall affects one out of every four cars on American roads and has already killed or maimed more than 350 people, and the airbags are on track to blast at least 2,000 more. With over 100 million vehicles still on the roads with these deadly airbags, "Ticking Time Bomb" reveals devastating evidence that the auto industry and government are doing little to protect the public.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
