The Event
Lulo Events presents After the Credits, a film screening series that pairs culturally relevant film with real conversation, launching during Canadian Finals Rodeo Week.
Tip your hat to our first feature film: John Ware Reclaimed.
The Film
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, Canada, before the turn of the 20th century. 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.
Synopsis courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada.
The film runs 71 minutes. The National Film Board recommends the film for viewers aged 13 to 18.
Friday, October 9, 2026 — Zeidler Hall, The Citadel Theatre

After the Credits is about connecting with your community. Following the film, join us for a discussion with director Cheryl Foggo and three Edmonton voices as we dissect what we just watched and say the things we'd normally save for the YouTube comments.
