Sixties soul singer Jackie Shane boldly carved a new path as one of music’s pioneering Black trans performers. On the edge of stardom, why did she suddenly disappear? Through never-before-heard conversations and dazzling animation, Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story hands the mic over to one of the most beguiling artists of the 20th century to finally reveal her extraordinary journey, in her own unmistakable voice.

Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story is an eye-opening, jaw-dropping, foot-stomping wave of jubilation that will ring forever more.
