What if Das Kapital was made into a Marvel movie, with a team of workers fighting the supervillain ‘Capital’? Or if Silvia Federici’s Wages Against Housework had been a kitchen sink drama?
That’s roughly the proposition of How to Blow Up a Pipeline, a slick new action movie based on Andreas Malm’s 2021 polemic. Heeding Malm’s calls for sabotage in the face of climate crisis, the film follows a group of eight co-conspirators as they converge on a single, explosive task: to destroy the infrastructure that is killing us all.
As the eco-thriller hits UK cinemas, Novara Media’s audio producer Richard Hames speaks to the film’s co-screenwriter and executive producer Jordan Sjol about propaganda in the 21st century and this new piece of box office dynamite.
