Dubai-based media and entertainment company Art&M has announced a new documentary on women’s cricket, Floodlight. The series centres on the UP Warriorz, a newly formed team in India’s Women’s Premier League (WPL) that comprises a mix of seasoned and emerging Indian cricketers alongside world-class international players.
Filmed across India, Dubai, the UK, and Australia, the series will highlight the WPL’s global impact and celebrate the athletes who are driving the growth of women’s sports. The docuseries will be directed by Arlene Nelson (Angel City, Secrets of Playboy). Art&M founder Arnab Chakraborty is serving as showrunner on the series, which is coproduced by Jinisha Sharma of Capri Global and Dipti Agrawal and Tushar Apshankar of Tudip Entertainment. UTA is handling worldwide sales for the series, in addition to representing Nelson.
Through intimate scenes, compelling interviews, and dynamic broadcast footage, Floodlight delves into the aspirations, determination, and challenges faced by players striving to excel in the fiercely competitive WPL.
Commenting on the docuseries, Arnab Chakraborty, Showrunner and Founder of Art&M said: “Floodlight is about much more than cricket. It’s a story about women from the Global South who are defying expectations and changing the game, literally and figuratively. It highlights one of the wealthiest women’s sports leagues, showcasing the journey of the UP Warriorz and the power of women’s sports. This story aims to inspire both sports fans and anyone fighting for their place in the world. Together with UTA as partners, we are highlighting the global impact of female cricket and sports with this documentary.”
