A lost Rhythm & Blues star who eclipsed Etta James and Little Richard, trans soul singer Jackie Shane blazed an extraordinary trail with an unbreakable commitment to her truth. Forty years after vanishing from public view, this 20th century icon finally gets her second act.
Blending her music with taped phone conversations and soulful animated re-enactments, Any Other Way brings Shane back to life in her own words, finally providing the recognition she so rightly deserves and introducing her to a generation fighting for their right to be their true selves.
“Any Other Way reveals a talent so striking you’ll be amazed it remained forgotten for so long.” Denis Harvey, Variety Magazine
