“This documentary was quite enjoyable and I am not sure what motivated the previous commenter to post such a malignant empty critique.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFinding Sally is a unique story about the directoru0026#39;s own aunt, Sally. The film chronicles the experiences of Sally, a charismatic ideologue and fateful revolutionary, and her aristocratic family during the most tumultuous and violent periods in Ethiopiau0026#39;s modern history. The fact that Sally is the directoru0026#39;s aunt results in an intimate form of story-telling — we learn her story like we would a fascinating relative of our own. Sallyu0026#39;s story seems both unique but also perhaps one of many untold, and gives the human experience of a nationu0026#39;s painful transformations.”
