Sunrise Earth is a nature documentary television series that last aired in the United States in 2008 on HD Theater (originally Discovery HD Theater), which has since been reformatted and rebranded as Velocity. The series focused on presenting the viewer with sunrises in various geographical locations throughout the world.[1] It is also notable for its complete lack of human narration, concentrating instead on the natural sounds of each episodes' specific location.[2] The technique has been described by TV critic Tom Shales as "crazily uneventful and thoroughly wonderful."[3]
