Reality star Megan Barton-Hanson, artist Sophie Tea and podcaster Jackie Adedeji are also featured in <em>Boobs<\/em>, which includes clips from classic films, covering everything from bras to <em>Baywatch<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Boobs<\/em> is slated to debut on Channel 4 on February 7.<\/p>\n<p>Sankey said: \u201cMaking this film was such a joy. I loved going through hundreds of films and TV shows to find the most iconic, bizarre and bodacious breast moments ever committed to screen. While cutting these clips together, it quickly became clear that breasts are a very unique body part, obsessed over in Western culture, sexualized and twisted into an aspirational signifier of traditional young, white, beauty, while simultaneously acting as the most magical of food sources, providing nourishment for our children. While making this film, I met so many incredible women who moved and inspired me and also made me cry laughing (my crew included), and it was so refreshing to create a space where we could ditch the seedy stare of the male gaze to sit down with women and simply ask, \u2018How do you feel about your breasts?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shaminder Nahal, head of specialist factual at Channel 4, said: \u201cI love the way this film intertwines women\u2019s thoughts and feelings about their breasts with film and TV clips in such a funny, moving and clever way. I think it will make everyone who watches think a little differently about these endlessly fascinating body parts. It\u2019s the latest of our specialist factual films investigating our bodies and ourselves after the groundbreaking <em>100 Vaginas<\/em>,<em> Bring Back the Bush<\/em>\u00a0and <em>Me and My Penis.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lana Salah, executive producer, said: \u201cThis is a feminist film with a completely female cast and crew taking a look at how breasts are mostly portrayed through the male gaze\u2014it\u2019s one of the few opportunities to hear women talk about and celebrate their boobs and discuss how can we claim our breasts back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 4 has commissioned from Wall to Wall the one-off documentary Boobs, written and directed by Elizabeth Sankey (Romantic Comedy).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":17524,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[289],"class_list":["post-17523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Channel 4 Orders Doc on Women\u2019s Breasts - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-4-orders-doc-on-womens-breasts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Channel 4 Orders Doc on Women\u2019s Breasts - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Channel 4 has commissioned from Wall to Wall the one-off documentary Boobs, written and directed by Elizabeth Sankey (Romantic Comedy).\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-4-orders-doc-on-womens-breasts\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-01-26T16:08:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-01-26T18:25:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/boobs-channel-4-0122.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"320\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"180\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-4-orders-doc-on-womens-breasts\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-4-orders-doc-on-womens-breasts\/\",\"name\":\"Channel 4 Orders Doc on Women\u2019s Breasts - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-01-26T16:08:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-01-26T18:25:17+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-4-orders-doc-on-womens-breasts\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-4-orders-doc-on-womens-breasts\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/channel-4-orders-doc-on-womens-breasts\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Channel 4 Orders Doc on Women\u2019s Breasts\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
