Is Nature entitled to legal rights? On journeys to Ecuador, New Zealand and California, this new film documents a rising, worldwide movement among scientists, philosophers and activists to establish the idea of inalienable and enforceable rights for Nature.

A specialist in the intersections of literature and environmental issues, Crimmel co-edited the book, Conversations with W. S. Merwin (2015), a collection of interviews with the former US Poet Laureate and environmental conservationist.
