"Strong Island" also won the Sundance Special Jury Prize and has received nominations for a raft of other accolades, including Best Documentary Film at both the Berlin International Film Festival and Black Reel Awards.

Jacobsen recently finished shooting "Finding 52" for Josh Zeman and Adrian Grenier. His films for two-time Oscar-nominated director Marshall Curry, "Racing Dreams" and "Point and Shoot," both received the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival.

His other documentary credits include: "The Trials of Daryl Hunt," which was nominated for the Sundance Grand Jury, Independent Spirit, International Documentary Association and Emmy awards; HBO’s Emmy-nominated "Journalist and the Jihadi"; and "Election Day," which was broadcast on "POV."

"Strong Island" is a Danish-American 2017 true-crime documentary film directed by Yance Ford. The film centers on the April 1992 murder of Ford's brother William, a 24-year-old African-American teacher in New York, who was killed by Mark P. Reilly, a 19-year-old white chop shop mechanic of Lake Grove, New York. An all-white grand jury in Suffolk County declined to indict his killer, who claimed self-defense.

The film premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. Worldwide rights were acquired by Netflix. It received a Gotham Independent Film Award for Best Documentary in 2017 and was nominated for the 2018 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. It was also nominated for an Emmy in Exceptional Merit in Documentary Filmmaking that year.
