Hot Docs 2024 Official Selection
Terry Masear wants to save every injured hummingbird in Los Angeles, but the path to survival is fraught with uncertainty and drama. This intimate and profound story of rescuing the fastest things with wings leans in deep to reveal hummingbirds as they've never been seen before, both visually and showing their distinct personalities. Through the eyes of America’s busiest bird rehabilitator, each bird becomes memorable, mighty and heroic. Terry knows their secrets. As marvels of natural engineering and, for Terry, messengers from the other side, the film challenges us to ask: when we choose to save another, can we find a blueprint to save ourselves? Visually stunning with enormous take-home wisdoms, this feature documentary canvasses themes of the human experience and the magic of the natural world right in the heart of one of the most diverse, urbanized cities on earth.
On September 7th, join ambassadors from the Royal Ontario Museum beginning one hour before the screening presenting real, touchable specimens from the museum's collections!
