BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Andrew Tate, once a kickboxer and now a prominent influencer, has captured the media's keen interest. BBC Three, in particular, has revealed their plans to develop an in-depth documentary delving into the controversial figure's misogynistic stance and international network.
Tate garnered significant attention across social media platforms due to his problematic viewpoints on women and his critiques of governmental entities, which he likens to the concept of the Matrix.
His notoriety reached new heights when he participated in the 2016 edition of the reality TV show 'Big Brother.' However, his time on the show was short-lived as he was expelled after a video surfaced where he engaged in a physical altercation with a woman.
'Andrew Tate: The Man Who Groomed the World?'
BBC Three is currently in the process of creating an investigative documentary centered around Tate, the former kickboxer who gained prominence on social media and later faced charges related to rape and human trafficking.
The forthcoming documentary, tentatively titled 'Andrew Tate: The Man Who Groomed the World?' is set to offer viewers a glimpse into the intricate network involving Tate and his brother, Tristan.
This upcoming documentary plans to unveil the previously concealed aspects of Tate's inner circle. It will shed light on the individuals contributing to his rise as a global icon, delve into the belief systems and ultimate objectives of Tate and his associates, and bring to light the potential repercussions of his worldwide connections, which may have affected numerous individuals, as outlined in a press release, according to Variety.
The press release stated, "For the first time, audiences will see the inner circle behind Andrew Tate, exposing those helping to craft him into a global figurehead, exploring the ideologies and end goal of Tate and his circle, and revealing how his global network has left potentially hundreds of victims in its wake."
The documentary is being led by investigative reporter Matt Shea and director Jamie Tahsin. Shea mentioned in a statement that they had been conducting an investigation into Andrew Tate and his close associates for a duration of four years, and they are now nearing the point of revealing their findings.
Through this documentary, they aim to uncover the expansive global network of Tate, which spans several continents and potentially impacts a significant number of victims. The primary objective is to unveil the true forces behind Tate's actions.
Shea stated, "We have now been investigating Andrew Tate and his inner circle for four years and are almost ready to reveal what we’ve uncovered. In this documentary, we uncover Tate’s global network, which spans multiple continents, affects potentially hundreds of victims, and ultimately seek to discover who is really behind Andrew Tate.”
Shea and Tahsin had previously collaborated on a separate documentary centered around Tate, titled 'The Dangerous Rise of Andrew Tate.' This Vice special report was broadcasted on BBC Three earlier in the current year.
It notably achieved considerable success as one of the top-performing unscripted acquisitions by the BBC, particularly among the 16-34 age demographic, within the last 18 months.
The documentary project, 'Andrew Tate: The Man Who Groomed the World?' has received the green light from Nasfim Haque, the head of content at BBC Three, and Joanna Carr, the news controller for long-form commissioning.
Overseeing the executive production is Mike Radford. 'Andrew Tate: The Man Who Groomed the World?' will soon be accessible to audiences in the United States through BBC Select, accessible via platforms such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and the Roku Channel.
