Details
Exquisite hummingbirds fill the screen in Australian filmmaker Sally Aitken’s captivating story of a woman finding herself as she cares for the tiny birds.
Los Angeles resident Terry Masear nurses the many hummingbirds who fall foul of the environment. In nesting season, she takes hundreds of calls from people who’ve found traumatised mothers and chicks. Aitken (Playing with Sharks: The Valerie Taylor Story, David Stratton: A Cinematic Life) follows Terry as she goes through her meticulous, time-consuming routine of feeding and grooming her fragile charges. In caring for hummingbirds, Terry finds a graceful way through her own traumas. The birds’ journey from injury to first flight is breathtakingly captured, revealing their oft-spunky personalities and resilient spirit.

Reviews
Every Little Thing is not just a deeply affecting portrait – it offers a vision of compassion as a way of life.
A shimmering, densely layered film about love and resilience, about how we live with and recover from trauma, and about letting go.
The thrill of watching extraordinary footage of these shimmering, iridescent, physics-defying birds never grows old.
Every Little Thing works its way toward a deeply satisfying conclusion, a big celebration of tiny things and the special person who has made it all possible.
