The documentary feature, directed by Emmy®-nominated filmmaker Chris Moukarbel (Banksy Does New York, Gaga: Five Foot Two), is a dramatic tale of espionage, propaganda, and romance, following the infamous Berlin rapper Denis Cuspert aka Deso Dogg, and his journey from artist to MMA fighter to ISIS recruiter. When the FBI assigns a translator to monitor Cuspert, her quest to get close to him takes over her life. Through their complex relationship, The Honey Trap reveals the powers that shape our world and what happens to those who step into the crossfire.
“When people hear the story of Daniella and Denis they often ask if it’s fiction”, said Moukarbel. “In a way, their story lives at the crossroads of military power and entertainment culture.”
THE HONEY TRAP: A TRUE STORY OF LOVE, LIES AND THE FBI is executive produced by Ricky Lloyd George, Hans Charles, Karam Ghossein, and Emily Dische-Becker and produced by Chris Moukarbel, Birdie Bischoff, Daniel Turcan and Johnny Galvin for Vespucci. Nina L. Diaz serves as executive producer for Showtime Studios.
