A chilling clip from an insightful new documentary highlights the appalling treatment of women by men while on holiday abroad.

Ellie Flynn and Emily Birtley are undercover journalists who decide to use hidden cameras to film footage for a new Channel 4 investigator film under the name Undercover Magaluf: Predators and Parties.

The pair try to go undercover as partygoers at the famous Punta Ballena party, pretending to be drunk to see if the men will try to take advantage of them.

For several days, they were secretly filmed by a camera crew, as they pretended to be drunk on the beach, in clubs and on the strip itself.

Ellie will later face an awkward exchange with a man while alone on the beachbut before that, one of her first experiments had already shown what nightlife could be like in the area.

Scene from documentarywhich aired last night (November 1), showed Ellie and Emily sitting together in a “drunk state” as the crew noted which men were giving them special attention.

There have been several terrifying incidents where a man has followed and chased Ellie around town because he thought she was drunk, which started when he saw the two sitting together and thought they were drunk. He seemed to watch them for 10 minutes.

When Ellie left Emily and walked back down the road alone, the same man followed her, signaling to his companions that he was going to pursue her in the area where she was most isolated.

Approaching her, he refused to leave her alone even after she showed no interest, though he eventually relented and left as the team advised her to return to Emily.

Then a second man approached her and tried his luck, although she continued to show no interest.

“It seemed like he was telling his friends … that he was going to target a vulnerable, drunk girl, and his friends said ‘yeah cool’ and just stood there while he did it,” Ellie said of the incident.

“To see something happen … in such a purposeful, organized way was really shocking – I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

After that, the first man continued to follow her, not only back to her friend, but around town with his friends, almost waiting for an opportunity to approach her again.
