Review of The Pipe

The Pipe (2010)
1/10
Dishonest

Warning: Spoilers
This documentary is a shameful exercise in self-indulgence and self- promotion on the part of the maker. Without knowing anything about this controversy anyone with half a brain would find themselves asking throughout what danger are the locals talking about? At no point is their concern examined. A pipeline running across the land could be dangerous. An overhead power line running across the land could be dangerous. Are we to take those down? Of course not. A fact that it didn't suit the producer to state: an independent examination of the pipeline design was carried out, and found it to be a safe proposal for the environment. The local people didn't question the report, everyone accepted its integrity. All this leaves us to watch is a mockery of the people of Mayo, depicted as half-wits and frightened of anything they can't readily understand.
