HARDtalk speaks to the journalist and filmmaker Paul Refsdal who's just made a remarkable film about would be suicide bombers in Syria.

French newspapers will no longer publish pictures of the perpetrators of jihadist atrocities - in an effort to ensure they're neither glorified, nor humanised. HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to a journalist who sees his mission differently. Norwegian Paul Refsdal has spent thirty years filming up close and personal from inside militant groups around the world, often at great personal risk - he was held hostage after filming with the Taliban in 2009. Last year he spent weeks with a small group of would be suicide bombers  in Syria.  Do we really need to see the Wests enemies this close up?
