Video: Eco-Terrorism 101: Harvard to Host Screening of ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline’
Website Includes ‘Take Action’ Page With Map of U.S. Pipelines
The film shows "young environmental activists execute a daring mission
to sabotage an oil pipeline...that is part high-stakes heist, part radical exploration of the climate crisis."
Harvard Law School is set to host a screening of a film called “How to Blow Up a Pipeline” — whose website has a “Take Action” tab that includes a map of all the U.S. pipelines.
The romanticized eco-terrorism film will be screened on April 3 by the Harvard Law School Film Society and will include a discussion with director Daniel Goldhaber and Law Professor Jon Hanson.

The plot of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline“, which debuted last April, features “A crew of young environmental activists execute a daring 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,” according to the trailer’s description.
The film’s website notably has a “Take Action” page with an interactive map showing all of the oil and natural gas pipelines in the U.S.
“Act outside of the system,” the page states.
Exactly what kind of action the film’s creators encourage student climate activists to take is not particularly difficult to figure out.
Of course, the Ivy League university’s tacit call to commit eco-terrorism likely won’t receive the scrutiny of the Biden Justice Department.
