The FBI is apparently concerned that How to blow up a pipeline, a fictional film about eco-vigilance, will inspire real and real eco-terrorism. So they issued a warning.

According rolling stonethe FBI issued a warning about the film’s threat to fossil fuel infrastructure in the United States, one of at least 35 official advisories from at least 23 federal and state entities on the subject.

How to blow up a pipeline tells a fictional and dramatized story based on a 2021 book of the same name by Andreas Malm in which the author argues that sabotage is a form of climate activism.

“A team of young environmental activists execute a daring mission to sabotage an oil pipeline in this tense and timely thriller that’s both a high-stakes heist and a radical exploration of the climate crisis,” reads the description from NEON, the distributor of the movie.
