Event Description
A personal investigation into the mysterious life of the director's Aunt Sally, an Ethiopian aristocrat-turned-communist-rebel who disappeared after the revolution, which led to the overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie.
Haile Selassie I (1892 - 1975) was the Emperor of Ethiopia from April 2, 1930 to September 12, 1974. Salessie's overthrow was followed by the Ethiopian Civil War (in Ethiopia and present-day Eritrea), fought between the Ethiopian military junta known as the Derg and Ethiopian-Eritrean anti-government rebels from 12 September 1974 to 28 May 1991.
"Finding Sally" is a beautiful film about family, relationships, civil war and untold stories in Ethiopia.
