DOC BC INTRO

After relocating to Ethiopia to reconnect with her ancestral homeland, Canadian filmmaker Tamara Dawit uncovers the story of her aunt Selamawit, known otherwise as Sally. Once a fun-loving party girl and the privileged daughter of an ambassador, Sally eventually became a Communist rebel, joining the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party (EPRP). The coup of 1974 led to decades of unrest, bloodshed, and political terror, and the EPRP opposed the regime. Wanted by the military government, Sally went underground and escaped to the countryside but was never seen by her family again. Dawit traces the tumultuous history of a committed activist, a resilient family, and a social movement worth remembering. -KR Did you enjoy this film? Have any comments or questions?
