It's a good movie, but like others have noted, this is not how you do it. 90% of blowing up a pipeline is community building, being able to get the gear you need and carry it out with a lot of people knowing and being able to trust that they won't rat you out. But it turns out when you have a community like that, well, you don't need to blow up the pipeline, you can just lobby the government.

I haven't seen the movie yet; in which country is it set?

USA.

I'm sure they're less worried about the "hows" of it all, than just the promotion of the idea in popular thought.

Yes, exactly this. The book by Andreas Malm had a review which read like "this book is less how to blow up a pipeline, and more why to blow up a pipeline", and the movie is working on a metaphorical level to argue the case. You're not meant to emulate it directly.
