Every Little Thing Movie Trailer HD - Plot 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 baby hummingbirds like Cactus 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.

00:00Hi, this is Terry calling you about the hummingbird.
00:02Sorry for bothering you on Mother's Day.
00:04No, no, no worries. I'm without children.
00:07Well, I guess I should say that I have hummingbirds, so...
00:10Wonderful.
00:11This is Beverly Hills, Wasabi.
00:13See that park?
00:15See all these trees and flowers?
00:17Someday this will all be yours.
00:21Come on in, Sydney.
00:23Bring your treasure.
00:25When you get a wounded hummingbird,
00:27it's too much for people.
00:28They just feel like I'd be a monster
00:31not to help this creature.
00:33Cactus. It's okay, baby.
00:35He's got a very serious injury.
00:37He wants to fly very badly,
00:39and I hope that he will.
00:41That's all we need.
00:42Yes, you can!
00:44Oh, look, you're feeling it.
00:45Feeling those bugs.
00:50Hummingbirds seem to have an unusually magical quality.
00:54Can you fly?
00:58That's huge, cactus.
01:00You go, girl.
01:02You can't address a trauma until you know what it was.
01:05Let me get you cleaned up here.
01:07It's okay.
01:08You come ready-made with the empathy
01:11because of your own struggles.
01:13Maybe that's the reason that I came to the hummingbirds.
01:20You sit right there until you dry, okay?
01:23He's really becoming a bird now.
01:25He's really showing off.
01:28How can something fly vertical, sideways, backwards,
01:32and upside down,
01:34and not tap into some magical realism?
01:37Yes.
01:38No doubt in my mind that they'll make it, thanks to you.
01:41When are you?
01:42Someone says, get off my property,
01:44you can just give them the bird.
01:54She's a character, actually.
01:56He said I was born to be on film.
