To mark Earth Day, Disney’s streamer goes all out with new nature programming, including a film from Disneynature, narrated by Catherine Keener, following the travails of a polar bear mother facing the challenges of raising her young in a changing environment. Also new to Disney, two from National Geographic: Explorer: The Last Tepui showcases celebrated Free Solo climber Alex Honnold as he and a team accompany Explorer Bruce Means into the Amazon to attempt a 1,000-foot climb to a massive tepui (“island in the sky”) to search the cliff wall for undiscovered species. The Biggest Little Farm: The Return revisits John and Molly Chester, subjects of a 2018 feature documentary, with an update on their decade-long journey as farmers in California’s Ventura Country, living and working in harmony with nature.
