Acclaimed heist thriller How to Blow Up a Pipeline is streaming for free right now on Channel 4.
Daniel Goldhaber’s film, adapted from Andreas Malm’s novel, centers on a group of climate activists determined to sabotage an oil pipeline as the climate crisis worsens and reaches a critical stage.
Similar to Malm’s work, this explores whether extreme measures – including acts of terrorism and property damage – can be justified when fighting climate change, and considers the ethics of such activist approaches.

The movie How to Blow Up a Pipeline has received very positive reviews, earning a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics agree that it’s a thrilling and intense adaptation of Andreas Malm’s book, featuring compelling and complicated characters.
I just read a review of *How to Blow Up a Pipeline* on AWFJ.org, and they absolutely loved it! They described it as really strong, impactful, and unapologetic about its political views. Honestly, it’s refreshing to see a movie take a clear stand when so much media tries to sit on the fence these days. It sounds like exactly the kind of thought-provoking film I’ve been looking for!
SlashFilm called the film “an absolute must-watch,” and Vanity Fair described it as “a persuasive piece of activist messaging.”
So, The Independent basically said this game isn’t trying to *tell* you anything, it just *shows* you how incredibly frustrated a whole generation feels like it is – and honestly, that really resonated with me. It’s not preachy, just… real.
The Observer lauded the film, calling it remarkably relevant, passionate, and energetic – truly capturing the spirit of the times.
I was reading an interview with Ariela Barer on *Vice*, and she was talking about how she and Daniel Goldhaber worked on turning the book into a movie. It was really interesting to hear about their process!
We spent a good two or three months just doing research,” she explained. “We quickly realized we wanted to explore a central idea: what if we and our friends were the ones responsible, and this happened tomorrow? What would that actually look like?”
By simply talking to our friends and their connections, and asking about their experiences with the topic, we discovered amazing stories from people we already knew.
“The realistic answer to what it would look like if we did this became what the story is.”
How to Blow Up a Pipeline is streaming now on Channel 4.
