On the SOUNDS OF FILM, we have Terry Masear, the extraordinary hummingbird rescuer at the heart of the new documentary Every Little Thing.

Directed by Sally Aitken, the film captures Masear’s lifelong dedication to rehabilitating these fragile, breathtaking creatures, offering audiences a window into a world of patience, perseverance, and quiet compassion.

With its stunning cinematography, deeply moving storytelling, and an intimate look at Masear’s work, Every Little Thing is far more than just a nature documentary—it’s an exploration of resilience, hope, and the profound connections we can forge with the tiniest creatures.

In advance of the film’s screening at the Port Jefferson Documentary Film Series, Terry Masear joins us to discuss her incredible journey, and the unexpected ways in which these tiny, high-speed birds help people heal.

Award-winning filmmaker Abby Ginzberg joins SOUNDS with Tom Needham to discuss her latest documentary, Shaking It Up: The Life and Times of Liz Carpenter.

Co-directed with Christy Carpenter, the film explores the groundbreaking career of Liz Carpenter—an outspoken journalist, White House press secretary, and advocate for equality who played a key role in shaping American politics and media.

Ginzberg shares insights into Carpenter’s legacy, the filmmaking process, and the importance of telling her story.

This episode coincides with the film’s screening and Q&A at the Port Jefferson Documentary Series on March 6th.
