Made for the National Film Board of Canada, the film blends a portrait of her own contemporary investigation into Ware's history with animation, music and historical reenactments in which Ware is portrayed by cowboy and actor Fred Whitfield.[1]
The film premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival on September 24, 2020, and was subsequently screened at the 2020 Vancouver International Film Festival.[3]
