The Climate Museum joins forces with Lapham’s Quarterly and the Center for Constitutional Rights to present a special screening of the 2023 eco-thriller film How to Blow Up a Pipeline, based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Andreas Malm.

In a post-screening conversation moderated by Miranda Massie, director and founder of the Climate Museum, panelists Vince Warren (Director, Center for Constitutional Rights) and Professor Mia White (Department of Environmental Studies, The New School) will join filmmakers Daniel Goldhaber and Dan Garber to discuss the portrayal of radical social movements throughout history and the strategies and stakes of environmental activism today. (Depending on the outcome of the SAG-AFTRA strike, additional panelists are also possible.)

How to Blow Up a Pipeline follows a group of eight individuals who come together to sabotage an oil pipeline in West Texas, taking direct action against an industry that has wreaked irreversible damage on their lives and communities. In a time when record-breaking heat waves, forest fires, and myriad climate catastrophes manifest the consequences of combustion of fossil fuels, this film presents at once a searing critique and a propulsive, character-driven story for our time.
