| 0:00.0 | Okay, we're live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show of a very special guest, a returning guest. This will be our fourth show. His name is Tim Tate, and he comes to us from the UK. And we did a show back in 2019. We covered one of his books titled Hitler's Secret Army, a hidden history of spies, saboteurs, and traitors in World War II. And then just this year, we did two books. |
| 0:23.2 | One was spy who was left out in the cold, the secret history of Agent Golanefsky in August. |
| 0:28.2 | And then just last month or two months ago, the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, crime, conspiracy, and cover up a new investigation. |
| 0:36.3 | So I highly recommend those books. People go check |
| 0:38.4 | those out. But today we're going to talk about another side of his career, which is the |
| 0:43.7 | filmmaking side. And it's a documentary that was made in, I think filmed in 2009, published 2010 |

| 0:54.3 | Femio and I will post the link to the show in the show notes of this show. But it |

| 1:15.9 | again. Can you talk about kind of like, maybe we've talked about your books, but your filmmaking |
| 1:20.3 | career people might not know about. Can you talk about that and what brought you to this |
| 1:25.4 | documentary, one-hour documentary on Al Jazeera titled |
| 1:29.0 | Dirty Little Secrets? |
| 1:30.3 | Yeah, I mean, my day job for 30-old years was as a documentary filmmaker, and I made primarily |
| 1:38.9 | investigative documentaries for all British and a lot of international networks, including networks in the US and abroad. |
| 1:47.0 | And in about 2009, I started working for Al Jazeera's English network. |
| 1:56.0 | It's important to stress Al Jazeera English, which is not the Arabic network. |
| 2:01.9 | And I did so because it was then pretty much one of the last places in the British broadcasting landscape, |
| 2:14.2 | the last networks, which was prepared to investigate serious stories and serious |
