\"\"<\/a>Hello Challengers!<\/p>\n

How is your month of reading about Nature going? I hope you have found something good! I’ve already finished my book for the month and it was great (I’ll talk about some more at the end of the month)<\/p>\n

If you’re still struggling to find something that fits with this month’s theme, why not try a movie? Here are a few ideas.<\/p>\n

The Impossible<\/strong><\/em><\/a> starring Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts follows a family of four that struggle to survive after the devastating tsunami that hit Thailand in 2004. Based on a true story, it is one of the most white-knuckle movies I’ve ever watched.<\/p>\n

March of the Penguins<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, a documentary about the epic journey Emperor penguins take to mate and raise new chicks in one of the harshest climates on Earth – Antarctica.<\/p>\n

Planet Earth<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, narrated by David Attenborough is a visual smorgesbord filled with stunning photgraphy and fascinating descriptions of the planet and the animals we share it with.<\/p>\n

Wild<\/strong><\/em><\/a> with Reese Witherspoon. The book is better (which is almost always the case) but the advantage of a film over a book really shines with this movie because you can enjoy the stunning scenery of the Pacific Crest Trail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
