On this episode of SOUNDS with Tom Needham, we welcome Terry Masear, the extraordinary hummingbird rescuer at the heart of the new documentary Every Little Thing. Directed by Sally Aitken, the film offers a breathtaking look at Masear’s lifelong dedication to rehabilitating these delicate creatures, revealing a world of patience, perseverance, and quiet compassion.

With its stunning cinematography and deeply moving storytelling, Every Little Thing goes beyond a nature documentary—it’s a powerful exploration of resilience, hope, and the profound connections we can form with even the tiniest beings.

As Masear nurses injured hummingbirds back to health in her Los Angeles home, the film captures both the challenges these birds face and the emotional journey of those who care for them.

Ahead of the film’s screening at the Port Jefferson Documentary Film Series, Terry Masear joins us to share her remarkable story, discuss the impact of wildfires on hummingbirds, and explore the unexpected ways these high-speed birds help people heal.
