Denis Cuspert (aka Des Dogg) was an infamous rapper from Berlin, an MMA fighter and, after a near death experience, a militant member of Islamic State. He was also being watched by the FBI who assigned a translator, Daniella Green, to monitor his movements. Her quest to get close to him led to a relationship. "The Honey Trap: A True Story of Love, Lies and the FBI" tells the whole story and reveals what happened next.

Paramount are promoting the doc as "A dramatic tale of espionage, propaganda, and romance" but the director, Emmy-nominated filmmaker Chris Moukarbel, is more precise.

"When people hear the story of Daniella and Denis they often ask if it’s fiction," he says of his film. "In a way, their story lives at the crossroads of military power and entertainment culture.” And it does.

But what draws two people from such different backgrounds together, when does the mission stop and humanity begin, at what point do the odds become too high and the chances of a future together become too remote?
