Exquisite hummingbirds fill the screen in Sally Aitken’s (Playing with Sharks: The Valerie Taylor Story, David Stratton: A Cinematic Life) acclaimed documentary about 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 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.
