Documentary on singer Jake Zyrus's gender transition nominated for International Emmy


By AGENCY
Shooting the documentary entailed revisiting 'dark times' and reliving all the anxiety, depression and challenges that came with Jake Zyrus's decision to come out as a transgender man and change his name from Charice to Jake.

With all the stress and anxiety that comes with the Covid-19 pandemic, Jake Zyrus can always use a bit of good news to cheer himself up.

This one surely did: after winning top honours at the US International Film and Video Festival this year, Jake And Charice – a documentary that delves into the singer’s musical journey and gender transition – recently received a nomination from the coming International Emmy Awards.
