She will also meet fellow fans and literary experts to explore why the Bront\u00ebs\u2019 work has influenced millions of readers and continues to feel relevant today.<\/p>\n<p>The documentary is being directed by Dhivya Kate Chetty, with Mark Robinson as an executive producer. It will air on Sky Arts and Freeview next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe legacy of the astounding work of Anne, Charlotte and Emily Bront\u00eb continues to reverberate around the world,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cThey were challenging the patriarchy 200 years ago. The worlds the sisters created have influenced culture across the centuries \u2014from Kate Bush to Taylor Swift, <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> to <em>Saltburn<\/em>. As well as looking at how they inspired her, Anita will also discover just what made them so subversive\u2014and very different to the timid image so frequently associated with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited about this documentary,\u201d commented Barbara Lee, commissioning editor for Sky. \u201cThe Bront\u00eb sisters were the original disruptors of literature. They were uncompromising feminist trailblazers, despite being the unlikeliest of rebels. Bradford born and bred broadcaster and author Anita Rani is the perfect guide, given how passionate she is about the Bront\u00ebs\u2019 writing, their legacy and their impact on her own life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rani said, \u201cThese strong, unearthly sisters fed into my psyche and made me think anything was possible. I related to the darkness and tragedy in the Bront\u00ebs\u2019 lives. They had as much impact on me as Neneh Cherry, The Smiths and Goldie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this film, I\u2019m going to explore how these women\u2014so full of rage\u2014changed my life, and the world. Growing up, romance wasn\u2019t on the cards. Bollywood felt distant. But Heathcliff&#8230; well, he could have been Indian\u2014dark hair, dark features\u2014why would he not be?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sky Arts has commissioned the one-hour documentary Anita Rani\u2014The Brontes: Sisters of Disruption (w.t.) from Wise Owl Films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":21888,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[9909,9910,9911,9912,9913,9914,9915,1742,9916],"class_list":["post-21887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-anita-rani","tag-anita-rani-the-brontes-sisters-of-disruption","tag-anne-bronte","tag-barbara-lee","tag-charlotte-bronte","tag-emily-bronte","tag-mark-robinson","tag-sky-arts","tag-wise-owl-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sky Arts Lines Up Bront\u00eb Sisters Doc with Anita Rani - 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\/sky-arts-lines-up-bronte-sisters-doc-with-anita-rani\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sky Arts Lines Up Bront\u00eb Sisters Doc with Anita Rani - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sky Arts has commissioned the one-hour documentary Anita Rani\u2014The Brontes: Sisters of Disruption (w.t.) from Wise Owl Films.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/sky-arts-lines-up-bronte-sisters-doc-with-anita-rani\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-08-23T14:57:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-08-23T14:57:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/08\/SkyArts-AnitaRaniTheBrontesSistersofDisruption-0824.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\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\/sky-arts-lines-up-bronte-sisters-doc-with-anita-rani\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/sky-arts-lines-up-bronte-sisters-doc-with-anita-rani\/\",\"name\":\"Sky Arts Lines Up Bront\u00eb Sisters Doc with Anita Rani - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-08-23T14:57:17+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-08-23T14:57:22+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/sky-arts-lines-up-bronte-sisters-doc-with-anita-rani\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/sky-arts-lines-up-bronte-sisters-doc-with-anita-rani\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/sky-arts-lines-up-bronte-sisters-doc-with-anita-rani\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Sky Arts Lines Up Bront\u00eb Sisters Doc with Anita Rani\"}]},{\"@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\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
