'How to Blow Up a Pipeline' turns a manifesto on climate activism into a gripping thriller. But it's not a 'manual,' say those behind the project.
“We have zero reluctance supporting this riveting film and are extremely excited to bring it to theaters nationwide. Neon has never been afraid of provocative films,” said Tom Quinn, founder and CEO of Neon, in an email. “Our mission has always, always been to champion filmmakers with a strong point of view and aren’t afraid to take risks. The climate crisis is a timely, potent and consequential issue that demands immediate attention.
“There’s no point of having some kind of a revolutionary purism that you should only preach to the choir. That would be completely pointless,” Malm said. “If there’s any value to these ideas, they should be spread as broadly as possible.”The cast includes Barer, Kristine Froseth, Lukas Gage, Forrest Goodluck, Sasha Lane, Jayme Lawson, Marcus Scribner, Jake Weary and Irene Bedard.
“Initially the whole idea was just, what if it was us and our friends? What if we went out tomorrow and did this, what would that look like?” said Barer. “We took stories from people very directly who are credited as script consultants and were compensated and we just talked about how to ethically represent so many different communities that we’re not part of.
Goodluck, also an executive producer on the film, plays Michael, the bomb maker of the group. He noted that while he had been a part of many projects with diverse casts, “Pipeline” took things a step further.

'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.
