Earth Day inspires plenty to watch, broadcast and streaming
Mike Hughes
A slow year for people turned out to be a splendid one for animals … and for people filming animals.
For the second straight year, Earth Day (April 22) will lack its usual commotion. Community events have been sidelined during the pandemic.
But this has been a strong year for nature and filmmakers. And streaming networks are jumping in.
One (Discovery+) declared this Earth Month, with a new film each Thursday. Another (Apple TV+) added three ambitious projects on Friday (April 16). And on Earth Day, Disney+ debuts “Secrets of the Whales,” a spectacular, three-year, four-part project.
