About the event
Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story
Michael Mabbott, Lucah Rosenberg-Lee, USA, 1:38:00, English
A lost R&B 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, Jackie's story is brought to life in her own words through never-before-heard phone conversations, dazzling rotoscope animation and her amazing music.
⛈️: discussion of racist violence and police violence, Jim Crow segregation, discussion of transmisogynoir and homophobia / ☀️: black trans woman lives her life on her terms and tells her story in her own words, great music and filmmaking style
