Every Little Thing— Pollinators: Unsung heroes of our human existence
Program Description
President of Plymouth Pollinators Carly Cirilli presents interesting insight into the importance of our vulnerable pollinator population and presents ways that our community can help protect these tiny creatures and preserve their habitat for the good of humanity. A Q & A session follows the film screening.
Film Synopsis
A woman in Hollywood cares for injured hummingbirds, experiencing personal growth as she witnesses their fragility and resilience.
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.
