Read the transcript of this podcast: https://www.therealnews.com<br /><br />The title alone of How to Blow Up a Pipeline has raised its share of eyebrows—and drawn condemnations from right-wing critics. The film, based on a <a href="https://www.versobooks.com/products/2649-how-to-blow-up-a-pipeline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">non-fiction book of the same name</a> by Andreas Malm, depicts a fictional attempt by a group of young climate activists to take action against the fossil fuel industry. But what is the political purpose driving the film adaptation—and does it actually teach viewers how to blow up pipelines? Director Daniel Goldhaber joins TRNN contributor Anders Lee to explain the vision behind the film, the intervention it seeks to make, and what lessons it can offer in a world on fire. <a href="https://twitter.com/chronopictures?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Goldhaber</a> is an American director, screenwriter, and producer whose most recent work is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSb585bGYmQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">How to Blow Up a Pipeline.</a><br /><br />Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: <br />Donate: <a href="https://therealnews.com/donate-pod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://therealnews.com/donate-pod</a><br />Sign up for our newsletter: <a href="https://therealnews.com/newsletter-pod" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://therealnews.com/newsletter-pod</a><br />Like us on Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/therealnews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://facebook.com/therealnews</a><br />Follow us on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/therealnews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://twitter.com/therealnews</a>
