Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story is a captivating documentary that delves into the life of Jackie Shane, a pioneering Black transgender soul singer who became a sensation in the 1960s. With her powerful voice and unapologetic authenticity, Jackie challenged societal norms and became a symbol of courage and self-expression in a world that wasn’t ready for her. The film chronicles her rise to fame, her impact on the music scene, and her disappearance from the public eye. Featuring rare archival footage and interviews, Any Other Way celebrates Jackie Shane's legacy and her enduring influence on music and LGBTQ+ history.
