SYNOPSIS
Author and wildlife rehabber Terry Masear has an ambitious goal: to save every injured hummingbird in Los Angeles. But the path to survival is fraught with danger. This heart-expanding Sundance hit introduces audiences to Terry’s diminutive patients through breathtaking slow-motion photography and emotional storytelling. Over the course of director Sally Aitken’s moving documentary, we become deeply invested in hummingbirds like Cactus, Raisin, Jimmy, and Wasabi, celebrating their tiny victories and lamenting their tragedies. Through Terry’s eyes, each bird becomes memorable, mighty and heroic. Her compassion and empathy serves as a reminder that grace can be found in the smallest of acts and the tiniest of creatures.

REVIEWS
“A shimmering, densely layered film about love and resilience, about how we live with and recover from trauma, and about letting go.”
“As suspenseful as any action flick but also, in equal parts, tender, beautiful, heartbreaking, and joyful.”
“Every Little Thing stirs insights and a sense of awe as it focuses on specific characters but also takes flight toward broader connection.”
