Sur les traces de John WareCheryl Foggo 2020 1 h 12 minCe film contient des propos vulgaires. Pour public averti.
Dans Sur les traces de John Ware, Cheryl Foggo poursuit sa quête afin de revoir la mythologie entourant John Ware, le cowboy noir qui s’est établi en Alberta, au Canada, à la fin du 19e siècle. Ses recherches mettent au jour le profil possible de cette personnalité emblématique et le sens que revêt son héritage au regard du racisme qui s’exerçait — et s’exerce toujours — contre les Noirs.
