My jaw was on the floor after watching this film. I couldn’t let it disappear from cinemas without sharing my excitement for this expertly crafted film. It has an amazing cast led by Ariela Barer, Lukas Gage, and Forrest Goodluck. This is outstanding filmmaking from director Daniel Goldhaber’s ("Cam") inspired crew, with extensive location shooting for an immersive docu-realist feel. This story is as prescient as any, fueling inspiration from fiction into our daily lives.
"How To Blow Up A Pipeline" is a taught indie eco-thriller with a pulse-pounding score that drives toward structural damage.
