Even among many who’ve grasped the scientific evidence, or experienced escalating weather extremes, climate change remains an abstraction for most — something too large and vague to trigger urgent emotional response. Not so the fictive activists in “,” inspired by Andreas Malm’s nonfiction tome of the same name.
An opening sequence introduces us in brief to the geographically scattered protagonists, mostly working-class twenty- and thirtysomethings. We soon realize these strangers have already organized long-distance into a team, covertly planning an act of industrial destruction for which they now meet in a remote, abandoned homestead. Their target: a West Texas oil pipeline recently constructed despite all objections from affected residents and environmental watchdogs.
Native American Michael rages in general at the continual violation of tribal land rights, choosing this course of protest partly to rebel against his mother’s pacifist activism. Shawn thought to make a difference by working on a documentary about environmentalist radicals, then decided he’d rather join their ranks outright.
When the zero hour arrives, required tasks get accomplished amid ample suspense that arises both from the risk of arrest and their own potential for error. Knowing their act will hurt ordinary citizens , they rationalize that cost in the hopes it will send a powerful message to fossil-fuel advocates. The message being that fundamental systemic change is necessary to avoid a catastrophic future for humanity — and refusal will only bring more asset-damaging subterfuge.

'How to Blow Up a Pipeline' explores vigilante eco-sabotageWhen the creators of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” initially set out to adapt the book that critiques the docility of climate activism, director Daniel Goldhaber had a very different vision than what they eventually made. They eventually decided on a kind of heist thriller that follows a group of young activists who plot to take down an oil pipeline in West Texas. While the group is composed of people with starkly different backgrounds and reasons for being there, many of its members are personally affected by climate change and are united in their desperation to fight it. “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” hits theaters Friday.
