What is Every Little Thing about? Details explored
The Sally Aitken-directed nature documentary showcases the inspirational journey of Terry Masear - the woman who runs an emergency hotline for injured and orphaned hummingbirds in the Los Angeles area. The tiny creatures that are protected under federal law and can only be looked after by licensed wildlife rehabilitators.
According to the Los Angeles Hummingbird Rescue, hummingbird serves as critical species in the ecosystem that serve as air pollinators thereby leading to establishing an equilibrium in the ecosystem. The hotline established by Masear has received 20,000 calls so far.
Terry Masear shared with Variety on the losses related to the act of rehabilitation saying:
“I don’t measure the success of the rescue by the outcome. But by the compassion.”
The movie has been based on Terry Masear’s 2016 book Fastest Things on Wings that narrates the journey of rehabilitation of hummingbirds through 18 years of her life. Terry Masear converted her Beverly Hills home into a rehabilitation center for birds where she hosts small enclosures as an ICU from where she shifts birds to the final flight aviary.
The act of kindness that Masear shows through the rescue of hummingbirds reflects her inner struggles as Every Little Thing hints at.
