At 65, Kim Jong-Il is the supreme leader of North Korea and is directly responsible for the death of millions of his compatriots. His mad regime has made North Korea a nuclear rogue state threatening the security of the world. But what do we know about this man? The dictator lives secluded and all the information about his private life is classified. This exclusive investigation is the first to portrait the schizophrenic leader through testimonies of close relatives who fled the regime. It is completed by actual filming in North Korea unveiling the privileges of a red nomenclature prospering at the expense of its people. A hard hitting and much needed testimony.
