How to Blow Up a Pipeline

Yep, that indeed one way to do it.

This movie follows a group of disaffected youths, who are pissed off that there is so much going wrong with the world, that they decide to make a statement. By, as you might be able to guess, blowing up a pipeline. We flash back to get brief moments of their lives as we see what lead them (individually) to this, and we also see some of the consequences.

I did think this was going to be a documentary, but that is more because I didn't fully read the description. Although it is based on a book, and I have no idea if the book is more factual or is this narrative? [IMDB says that the book is non-fiction and this movie is a narrative adaptation.] But you can easily identify with them of doing something is better than doing nothing... although I am personally far too lazy to do something like this.

This is well put together, and decently acted. Will it inspire others to follow in their footsteps? ... I can't entirely argue against that.
