Film: "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" (2022)
Saturday, October 5, 2024 7:00–8:45 PM
- Location
- DescriptionEach year around the Feast Day of St. Francis, the Browning Cinema programs films that look at nature, both for its beauty and the challenges presented in its preservation. This year, our film is adapted from Andreas Malm's 2021 novel of a similar title that presents questions that are central to environmentalism and sustainability but apply broadly to any form of political action: Where should guardrails be placed when one wants to eradicate a harm? To unspool that question, the film centers on a crew of young environmental activists executing a mission to sabotage an oil pipeline in this taut and timely thriller that is part high-stakes heist, part radical exploration of the climate crisis.
