How to Blow Up a Pipeline, the brilliant 2022 indie thriller from director Daniel Goldhaber (Cam, Faces of Death), is airing on TV tonight (Thursday, 28 May).
Inspired by the non-fiction book of the same name by Andreas Malm, the film follows a group of young people from different walks of life who gather together at a remote cabin in West Texas for a secret mission.
United by their desire to protect the environment, their goal is to detonate homemade explosives along a section of a recently constructed oil pipeline nearby as a form of climate activism.
Playing out like a heist movie, the story follows the young environmentalists as they carry out their plot, while flashing back in time to show how each of them became involved in the dangerous plan.
Ingeniously structured and often almost unbearably tense - particularly the Sorcerer-esque scenes of the lead characters constructing their own explosives - the film works extraordinarily well as a thriller.
That said, it's also a movie about important societal issues. It questions whether such extreme actions to combat climate change are justified, and whether the activists who commit them should be labelled terrorists.
Holding a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score, How to Blow Up a Pipeline is airing on TV tonight/this morning on Film4 at 11.05pm. It's also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
