For one glorious moment, there was Jackie Shane, a Black, trans soul singer who rose through the 1960s Toronto music scene before seemingly disappearing into thin air. Now witness her live her truth in this shimmering and vivacious live action/animation hybrid documentary based on her own unpublished manuscript.


A star is reborn! With an outsize stage presence—that eclipsed even the greatest R&B artists—trans soul singer Jackie Shane shattered barriers with raw talent, courage, and an unbreakable commitment to truth. Through never-before-heard phone conversations, dazzling animation, and an incredible soundtrack, the full scope of her extraordinary life and career is finally revealed in this remarkable portrait documentary.
