SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed - Ottawa Public Library - Alta Vista Branch
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES annual programming\, the Alta V
 ista Branch of the Ottawa Public Library  is presenting the following fil
 m to highlight Black History Month:\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed|Director: Chery
 l Foggo | 2020 | 73 min\n\n\nIs it possible to love someone who died befo
 re you were born? Cheryl Foggo believes so. John Ware Reclaimed follows 
 filmmaker Foggo on her quest to uncover the complex story of John Ware\, a
  Black cowboy and rancher who settled in Alberta prior to the turn of the 
 20th century. As she endeavours to dig past the racist myths and mistelli
 ngs surrounding Ware\, she recalls her childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, he
 r own experiences of racism\, and her family’s history as part of the 19
 10 migration to western Canada to escape violence in the southern United S
 tates. She also evokes the suppressed history of a thriving Black presence
  in the Prairies: the Black pioneers who lived\, worked\, and raised famil
 ies in the west. Foggo’s archival\, genealogical\, and archaeological se
 arch\, and her creative reimagining of John Ware’s life\, reveal who thi
 s iconic figure might have been\, and what his legacy means.\n\nTrailer: J
 ohn Ware (Trailer 1m26s)\n\n\n_______\n\nFREE SCREENING\nTo have more info
