Channel 4’s acclaimed digital-first documentary strand UNTOLD is back with a bold new season that dives deep into some of the most pressing, provocative, and underreported issues shaping modern life.
Available to stream first on Channel 4’s digital platforms, UNTOLD pushes boundaries with unparalleled access, fearless storytelling, and raw honesty — featuring a fresh slate of compelling documentaries that reveal what’s really happening behind closed doors.
A Highlight from the new season includes Hunting My Sextortion Summer (w/t) which is available to stream from 25th June.
If you ask young men to check their DMs on social media, many will find a seemingly innocuous message from an attractive young woman or man. But increasingly they aren't who they say they are. They are criminals who lure victims into sharing intimate photos. Then they threaten to publish unless their victims pay up.
Sextortion, or sexual blackmail, is now the most prevalent form of image abuse in the UK. The NCA reported that in the first 5 months of 2024 police forces received 117 reports a month from under 18s.
In this eye-opening film, musician and presenter, Jordan Stephens, immerses himself in this pressing problem to understand both the criminals and the victims.
Jordan goes to the extreme of getting himself sextorted. He travels to the streets of Nigeria to track down his blackmailer and attempt to confront them face-to-face.
This season of UNTOLD will available to stream first on Channel 4 and the Channel 4 Documentaries YouTube channel.
