Finding Sally<\/strong> is the awe-inspiring culmination of the director\u2019s quest to piece together fragments of a diasporan trail. Dawit grew up in Canada, the granddaughter of a high-ranking diplomat and prot\u00e9g\u00e9 to Ethiopia\u2019s last monarch Haile Selassie. The void between the director and her family in Addis Ababa, maintained by the only rare contact to her now deceased Ethiopian father, leads to a deep longing in Dawit for her East African roots. The entanglement of desire and creation of knowledge that is so characteristic of diasporic art also informs this documentary.<\/p>\n

During a visit to her grandmother in Addis Ababa, Dawit sees a black-and-white photograph of a young woman. On asking about her, Dawit learns that the woman is her aunt Sally, an active member of the resistance movement against the Red Terror in the 1970s, and who eventually died after going underground. Dawit starts asking questions, with a directness and tenacity that only a family member on the outside could be allowed, and which finally lead her to Sally\u2019s grave. The film\u2019s structure sees interviews, archive material and documentary footage filmed by Dawit, whose voice-over guides the viewer through the film. Her story about a female member of the Ethiopian underground resistance is unusual given that the revolution is traditionally told from a male perspective \u2014 if at all. The blending of socio-political themes and personal family trauma also leads to a story that develops out of a female temporality that persists and grows in a circular pattern. Thus, \u203aFinding Sally\u2039 also becomes \u203aFinding Tamara\u2039.<\/p>\n
