Written and directed by Sally Aitken, Every Little Thing is an intimate and moving documentary focused on author and rehabber Terry Masear, who wants to save every injured hummingbird in Los Angeles. Terry takes in the most fragile of patients through her volunteer hummingbird rescue, but the path to survival is fraught with uncertainty and drama. The film will screen seven times through Sunday at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
The Birds
The flow of water across a giant expanse of featureless mud is pushing hundreds of thousands of birds in motion.

About 70 minutes into Every Little Thing, an energetic young bird named Jimmy goes on a rampage. Weeks into his rehabilitation after a fall from his nest, the orphaned Allen’s Hummingbird is ready to move into a shared living situation, a roomy cage with a rambunctious duo dubbed “The Wild Boys.” Terry Masear, our hero, has him in her hand just outside the enclosure when—“Oh, shit”—he breaks loose and shoots up to the ceiling.

If you or anyone you know needs proof that the entire human race isn’t beyond redemption, may I suggest a screening of Sally Aitken’s documentary Every Little Thing.
The film follows Los Angeles author and educator Terry Masear, who rescues injured hummingbirds. She initially came to the work by accident, after her cat brought in an infant bird. The fragility of the tiny creature took her down a fascinating path. “I’m without children,” she says in the film. “I have hummingbirds.”
