This screening is a special event presented during Canadian Finals Rodeo Week:
JOHN WARE RECLAIMED – directed by Cheryl Foggo (2020, 72 minutes)
John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Cheryl Foggo on her quest to re-examine the mythology surrounding John Ware, the Black cowboy who settled in Alberta before the turn of the 20th century and helped build Alberta’s ranching industry. Today, his name is on a ridge, a creek and a school, but most Albertans couldn’t tell you who he was. Foggo’s research uncovers who this iconic figure might have been, and what his legacy means in terms of anti-Black racism, both past and present.
Please note: This film contains explicit language. Viewer discretion is advised. Recommended for ages 13+
