Earth From Space (2012)

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2149708/?ref=m_nv_sr_1

This documents Earth by combining imagery and data from many different satellites, to model the Earth in a way never before seen before. It shows how different systems of the Earth interact with each other that is absolutely mind-blowing.

For example, you see how a stirring of dust in the desert creates a daily migration of minerals into the Amazon rainforest which allows the rainforest to survive and thrive.

It shows daily, and weekly, and Millennial long cycles that power the planet and really changes how you see the Earth.

And it's gorgeous.
