Sarah-Tai Black Globe and Mail It's obvious that heart is clearly something that Foggo brings to this project in spades, but unfortunately it is the film's lack of craft, creative accomplishment and narrative direction that will likely leave audiences wondering what they have learned. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row Cheryl Foggo's moving, enlightening, and appropriately infuriating new documentary, John Ware Reclaimed, attempts to reclaim not just John Ware's story from the biased history books but the history of Black Canadians in the prairies.
