The documentary will focus on harassment that takes place online, with Emily previously campaigning to ensure cyberflashing would become illegal under the Online Safety Bill.
The Inbetweeners actress previously spoke out about predatory behaviour online, opening up to The Sun on Sunday about one terrifying experience when an online stalker turned up at her home.

She said at the time: “I’ve had people commenting on my body, my face, my hair, calling me fat, an untalented piece of s***, annoying, whatever, my whole life.
“I’ve developed quite a thick skin. But when I started getting actual rape threats, and felt my safety was in jeopardy, it became too much. I get videos of men self-pleasuring, awful photos of things I can’t describe, every day.
“I have this one guy who constantly abuses me and every time I block him, he creates a new account.
“He’s relentless and disgusting, beyond anything you can imagine. Yet he says he’s a married man with children.”
