Christopher Hale is a British non-fiction writer and documentary producer. He was educated at the University of Sussex and Slade School of Fine Art - and began his television career as a film editor. He made some apprentice films at the BBC, including a ''One Pair of Eyes'' called ''Nationality Uncertain'' - and was offered the opportunity to make a major documentary for Channel 4 called ''(Is there Anybody There )'', with the psychologist Nicholas Humphrey. He has since made some series and many one off programmes, including ''(Search for the Sons of Abraham )''. In 1989, Hale's ''Byline: Blind to Science'' (BBC) won a Special Award from the British Association for the Advancement of Science (BAAS). In 1999, Hale made ''(Atlantis Reborn )'' for the BBC science strand Horizon, a critique of pseudo historical ideas focusing on the myth of Atlantis and the claims of writer (Graham Hancock ). When the documentary was transmitted, Hancock complained to the Broadcasting Standards Commission - now (Ofcom ) - which (exonerated the broadcaster of any significant unfairness ). Hale described the experience of making the film and dealing with the anger it provoked in a chapter ''The Atleantean Box'' in '(Archaeological Fantasies )', edited by (Garret G. Fagan ) for Routledge. In 2002, Hale was commissioned by Bantam Books to write a book about the Heinrich Himmler-sponsored 1938–1939 German expedition to Tibet.〔Christopher Hale, ''Himmler's Crusade.
