Lucas Kinney is the son of Patrick Kinney, who worked on Braveheart and Indiana Jones.
The new 58-minute documentary is called "Dugma, the Button" and follows the lives of three would-be Al Qaeda suicide bombers obsessed with the promise of 72 virgins.
At one point Kinney reveals he has doubts about having agreed to blow himself up after he wife falls pregnant. "Now I can't do that to my family," he admits, his voice cracking with emotion.
Kinney was born Catholic to a British mother, Deborah Phipps, but converted to Islam in 2013 after dropping out of Leeds University.Kinney played in a number of rock bands before moving to live with his father in the Austrian capital, Vienna in 2013.
It is believed he was radicalised by Austrian jihadis, changing his name to Abu Basir al-Britani and leaving to fight in Syria in late 2013. Since then he has appeared in several Al Qaeda videos and the terror group desperately compete with ISIS in the propaganda stakes.
The Norwegian intelligence service PST had no problem with journalist Pal Refsdal spending time spent with the suicide bombers.
"What's illegal is to support and participate in the Al-Nusra Front or IS," PST spokesman Martin Bernsen told AFP.
