Pipe Nation (TV Movie 2023). Pipe Nation: Directed by Raoul Bhatt. With Natallie Gamble, Geoff Shangh, Mike Vickers, Dallas Soonias. Hardwell is a fictional town near the border of two provinces at odds with each other. Meanwhile, the camp Ashley and Ty work at is called Kilometer 72. They have just crossed over into a province whose energy values don't align with their own and run into protests and antipathy. A single, debt-ridden mother takes a job as a pipe labourer at a remote camp near the town of Hardwell. As tensions grow between workers and neighbouring communities, Ashley is challenged to protect the industry and her only source of income. Forming an unlikely bond with a member of her crew, Ashley and Ty help one another navigate hostile working conditions and the complexities of an industry in transition. Pipe Nation is a fictional analysis of the historical, political and economic significance of pipelines. It works to illuminate the unique relationships between individual citizens and the webs of steel which lie below.

“Feelings can be hurt or perspectives will be challenged. The topic and personification of oil and gas is controversial. Welcome to Alberta where cowboys are still real and resources are exploited (according to some). I love that this was filmed and produced locally with real Albertans and their variety of talent. If youu0026#39;re not expecting some high budget Hollywood movie then you will enjoy this gritty rendition of front line oil and gas / pipeline life. You can tell there is more to this controversy and youu0026#39;ll be wanting to know what really lies beneath…nhint: itu0026#39;s not all sex, drugs and laying pipe!”
