Interesting film about how miles and miles and miles of pipeline were transported from steelmills from around the world to make Alaska's central oil pipeline. Engineers had to create new barges to haul all of this pipe from ports, and they're quite impressive. Actually, the whole film is quite engrossing. Now as I said, the film is all about GETTING it there, it doesnt tell you the actual construction of it. Reason being, it was paid for by the transport industry! Ahhhhh... Curious film about a blip on how the Alaska Pipeline was made.
