In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham talks with filmmaker Tamara Mariam Dawit about her new film Finding Sally, which explores her family’s history during the 1970s political upheaval in Ethiopia. They talk about her grandfather’s diplomatic career, her family’s connections to Ethiopia, and the challenge of telling a personal story on film. They also discuss her aunts’ participation in the film, using individuals to represent broader stories, and how the film fits within Ethiopia’s current political structure.
