I specifically purchased 'American Sunrises' as a gift for my mother, she is very patriotic and feels that while there are amazing natural wonders all over the world she wishes she knew more about those in our own country. Some of the areas specifically featured are places we vacationed in my childhood and some we actually lived in. I can vouch for those places being accurately portrayed--you really could go to northern Maine and see moose swimming without having to airbrush-out office buildings or traffic noise. Mother really enjoys the small and discreetly placed (bottom of the screen and in a small-ish font) bits of information about the animals and geological or meteorological phenomenon being shown. Not every single creature or puff of wind has a factoid and they are not terribly insightful or obscure and the 'pause' feature on my mother's dvd player is used when one comes up because they can be tough to read before thy fade away, but for my mother having those little bits of info on 'how much a moose eats in an average day' really enhances the experience. These are wonderful dvds for a variety of uses: my mother plays them while studying coursework for college, the audio aspect is very well recorded and can function on its own as a 'sounds of nature' cd (in dvd format of course); when she takes a break from studying she can watch the clouds and fog drift and the sand-pipers hop about; she has watched some sections and paused them to work on sketching the animals.Read full review
I had been watching "Sunrise on HDTheater but sometimes I didn't have a chance catch it at 4am or 7am runtime. So I find that these few minutes of calm settings by the ocean, mountains or meadows is a perfect meditation video for prayers, yoga, any time you want to just calm down and relax. You can even find yourself dozing off but that is okay your brain needs time to relax once in awhile with all the daily stress we all feel. Worth buying for anyone you know that needs some quietude, a perfect gift for a loved one or yourself.
These quiet and beautiful sceneries are so pleasing to watch. Just taking in the beauty of nature and getting lost in your own thoughts while watching is so relaxing and comforting.

It's just simply a view of a sunrise in different locations in the U.S. Beautiful scenery and great sounds from nature.

There are no 'characters,' other than nature, birds, trees, light, and that is the best scene that can be performed.
