If you have already blown through your digital library while staying at home this month, revel in a little bit of sunshine with the help of the streaming services at your disposal. Start your scenic TV adventure with the Oscar-winning classic “March of the Penguins” and its sequel, which shows emperor penguins struggling for survival. Morgan Freeman provides the voiceovers in both, proving to be its own remedy for serenity. Retain his soothing voice as your home’s background noise by keeping the nature documentaries featuring his narration flowing with IMAX’s “Born To Be Wild” and “Island of Lemurs: Madagascar.”
Stick with the cold climate as German filmmaker Werner Herzog hikes through Antarctica in “Encounters At The End of The World,” which is only slightly more chilling than his explosive volcano documentary “Into The Inferno.” There’s no shortage of sea life in movies such as “The Cove,” “Blackfish” and “Chasing Coral.” For an out-of-this-world perspective, soar to space with Darren Aronofsky's “One Strange Rock,” which could be a double-entendre for the substances found in Aronofsky’s “Requiem For A Dream.”
Finish your worldly watching with English broadcaster David Attenborough, who has narrated hundreds of documentaries during his 70-year career including “Planet Earth,” “The Blue Planet” and “Our Planet.” His documentaries inspired 17-year-old Greta Thunberg to take up climate activism, leaving us to wonder if he’s going to narrate her upcoming documentary later this year. If not, maybe Morgan Freeman is available?
