Synopsis
When North Korea admitted to the world that it had restarted its nuclear weapons program, a spotlight shone on a country that for 50 years has been shielded from the eyes of the Western world. Using current events as the jumping off point and the words and experiences of North Korean defectors, we tell the history of the world's most secretive country. Starting with its creation in the aftermath of WWII, we focus on the only two leaders in North Korean history--Kim Il-sung and his son Kim Jong-il.
