Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story 

"Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story" reveals the extraordinary rise to fame, sudden disappearance, and resurgence of trailblazing Black trans soul singer Jackie Shane. Told in her own voice through never-before-heard phone conversations and dynamic rotoscope animation—alongside her family’s powerful journey to discover her legacy—the film conjures the spirit of an ahead-of-her-time icon who dared to live life on her own terms, even when it came at a great personal cost.
