Episode 2: How to Blow Up a Pipeline

How to Blow Up a Pipeline is a new film about extreme environmental activism. But it’s no preachy screed. Instead it’s an Ocean’s 11 style heist caper with something to say about the futility of watching the planet burn while fossil fuel companies continue to rake in record profits. How to Blow Up a Pimple premiered back in November 2022 at the Toronto Film Festival and is going into wide release for Earth Day. Matt Zoller Seitz writing at RogerEbert.com called it “one of the most original American thrillers in years” Writing at Paste Magazine Jacob Oller said it was “absolutely electric filmmaking” and “It’s as satisfying as any good bank job, only it’s stealing a little bit more time on this planet from the companies looking to scorch the earth.” I had the pleasure to speak with the team behind the film for an upcoming feature in Sierra Magazine. Director Daniel Goldhaber, editor Daniel Garber, screenwriter Jordon Sjol, and actress and screenwriter Ariela Barer. We talked about challenges of making independent films, what activism looks like in a world of dwindling options, their favorite on-screen environmental heroes and much more.

Episode 1: The Midwest Mafia and Biofuel Fraud

What if the one of the worst environmental crimes wasn’t committed by money-grubbing oil tycoons, but instead was the result of a well-intentioned green energy law, that failed to reduce carbon emissions while corn belt mobsters and religious zealots got rich and the planet burned? "The worst fraud every perpetrated on the environment." -- Doug Parker former Environmental Protection Agency Criminal Investigation Division Director.
