How to Blow Up a Pipeline is as immersive as it is concise -- the group’s hunger to effect change by criminal means is illustrative of a mindset that is already a reality for some. Making such profound shifts engaging and entertaining is impressive.

Goldhaber’s smart and eloquent portrait of the next inevitability in climate justice makes for difficult viewing. It forces us to confront questions that have no easy answers. But more than that, it forces us to realize the alternatives are even worse.
