For the last six months, Jenas has been tackling these issues, confronting the trolls themselves, interviewing Premier League footballers on the receiving end of the abuse and discussing his own personal experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Jenas said: \u201cThis film is incredibly important to me and something I\u2019ve been working on for a while. There has been an ongoing conversation surrounding racism and football for as long as I can remember, and the reactions to the Euros has been heartbreaking. I&#8217;ve felt sick to my stomach reading the comments and chants, and promise to make it my mission to help create positive change&#8230; @instagram @twitter @facebook and all the other social platforms out there, we have to hold these trolls accountable, we have to do better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louisa Compton, head of news and current affairs and sport for Channel 4, said: \u201cIn this timely, bold and much needed film, Jermaine Jenas will tackle the issue head on by confronting the people hiding behind their Twitter profiles and trying to get answers from the tech giants themselves.
