    FINDING SALLY A FILM BY TAMARA DAWIT PRESS KIT MEDIA CONTACT: Ingrid Hamilton, GAT PR | [email protected] | 416-731-3034 Macy Armstrong, GAT PR | [email protected] | 289-772-5513 FINDING SALLY 2020 | Documentary | Canada | 78 minutes Original English and Amharic version with English subtitles Written and Directed by Tamara Dawit Producer: Isabelle Couture | Executive Producer: Katarina Soukup Catbird Films LOGLINE A personal investigation into the mysterious life of the director’s aunt Sally, an Ethiopian aristocrat-turned-communist-rebel who disappeared during the Ethiopian Revolution. SHORT SYNOPSIS Finding Sally tells the incredible story of a 23-year-old woman from an upper-class family who became a communist rebel with the Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Party. Idealistic and in love, Sally got caught up in her country’s revolutionary fervour and landed on the military government’s most wanted list. She went underground and her family never saw her again. Four decades after Sally’s disappearance, Tamara Dawit pieces together the mysterious life of her aunt Sally. She revisits the Ethiopian Revolution and the terrible massacre that followed, which resulted in nearly every Ethiopian family losing a loved one. Her quest leads her to question notions of belonging, personal convictions and political ideals at a time when Ethiopia is going through important political changes once again. LONG SYNOPSIS Sally was an aristocrat, a dignitary’s daughter, and an Embassy brat. Her father’s posting as an Ethiopian diplomat meant that the family lived in various countries before settling in Canada in 1968. Selamawit Dawit – Sally to her friends – went to Carleton University in Ottawa and was a bright, outgoing young student with many friends and hopeful suitors.

  • Summer 2021 | Commemorative Program Welcome
    Summer 2021 | Commemorative Program Welcome The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Leadership Foundation and the National Association of Broadcasters welcome you to the 2021 Celebration of Service to America Awards. Every day, local radio and television stations provide a critical public service by delivering essential news, weather and entertainment their communities rely on every day, as well as a lifeline during times of crisis. When the mics and cameras turn off, these stations continue their good work through charitable efforts and service to their communities. This year was no exception as our finalists devoted 3,528 hours of airtime to public service and addressed the unique challenges of COVID-19 within their communities. In total, more than $43,440,000 worth of funds and donations were raised to support local charities across the country to help fight hunger, fill gaps in education and provide support to local businesses and charities. The importance and impact of broadcasting has never been greater. While we cannot celebrate in person this year, we are thankful for the support of our broadcasting community and Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution as we recognize the work and share the stories of our fellow broadcasters. We are honored that the 23rd annual Celebration of Service to America Awards will once again be broadcast across the country by local radio and television stations as a special one-hour awards ceremony featuring celebrity guests, past honorees and policymakers beginning July 10 through August 14. Emmy award-winning host Tamron Hall and other celebrity guests will honor local radio and television stations and community leaders like Lin-Manuel Miranda for their unwavering commitment to the communities they serve.
