How to Blow Up a Pipeline fundraiser screening

Link / Additional Info

On Saturday, April 15 at 1pm, join Verso Books and Pilsen Community Books for an opening weekend fundraiser screening of the eco-thriller How to Blow Up a Pipeline. After the screening, there will be a short conversation with local environmental justice activists who will share ways to get involved in local and nationwide movements to combat climate destruction and fight for a better world for all. How to Blow Up a Pipeline, an environmentalist action movie directed by Daniel Goldhaber, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ariela Barer and Jordan Sjol, was inspired by the ideas advanced in Andreas Malm's 2021 book of the same name. How to Blow Up a Pipeline follows a crew of environmental activists who plot a daring plan to disrupt an oil pipeline. Paste magazine calls it "absolutely electric filmmaking" and Collider says it's "a magnificent manifesto adaptation." All proceeds raised at this opening weekend screening will benefit the Atlanta Solidarity Fund to help with the legal defense of the environmental justice activists arrested while resisting the demolition of hundreds of acres of historic forest where the Atlanta Police Department plans to construct a new, privately funded $80,600,000 cop training facility. This plan not only ignores residents’ demands to reduce the scope and size of policing in Atlanta, but it also follows an undemocratic process and ignores community needs. Join the movement to Stop Cop City! Thanks to NEON for making this screening possible. Please follow COVID safety protocols. Masks are required.
