SEATTLE TRANS FILM UNION: ANY OTHER WAY: THE JACKIE SHANE STORY

Join us next month on Sunday, March 2 at @nwfilmforum!

ANY OTHER WAY: THE JACKIE SHANE STORY (2024) directed by Michael Mabbott and Lucah Rosenberg-Lee, executive produced by Elliot Page, 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. The full scope of her extraordinary life and career is an epic journey, marked by family secrets, loss and love. On the eve of her return to the stage, fate had other plans. In ANY OTHER WAY, Jackie finally gets her second act. Or in her own words: “Oh, Honey! When it comes to Jackie, look out!”
