Even Though the Whole World Is Burning

A documentary on the life and work of Poet Laureate, two-time Pulitzer winner, and environmental activist W.S. Merwin. His legacy is based not only on his writings, but also the singular form of environmental activism he embodied. The film will appeal to poetry aficionados, environmentalists, and Buddhists, but also to wider audiences who will experience Merwin as a "wise man" brimming with insight, humor, and a refreshing sense of the relevance of poetry in our lives today.
