"Sunrise Earth" is a wildlife documentary television series that airs in the United States on HD Theater and Animal Planet. The show is notable among documentaries for its complete lack of human narration fact|date=June 2008. High-definition video images and Dolby 5.1 stereo surround sound are used to present each natural environment in a clear and detailed manner. The show is an example of the genre known as "Experiential TV", developed by series creator David Conover. [http://compasslight.com/about.htm About Compass Light Productions] 2008-07-09] The technique has been described by TV critic Tom Shales as "crazily uneventful and thoroughly wonderful."

Compass Light, Conover's small production company in Camden, Maine, started producing the series in 2004. 64 one-hour "Sunrise Earth" shows have been created in the first four years of production. The crew shoots with High Definition video cameras and the editors cut between multiple perspectives at a leisurely pace. The show is presented in real-time, with each shot lasting an average of 30 seconds fact|date=June 2008. Each episode captures one sunrise from a certain location, such as Machu Picchu, Turkey or Scandinavia. Captions in the lower portion of the frame occasionally give information as to the location, time, and events on screen.

Compass Light was founded by director David Conover in 1992. Specializing in the creation of non-fiction documentaries, the company's work focuses on the discoveries of people in challenging and value forming situations, primarily outdoors and in a marine context.
