The story of how guerilla fighter Kim Il Sung rises to power, takes complete control of his country and makes himself a god in the eyes of his people; a chronicle of Sung's early days in power, including how he starts the Korean War.
The dark story of the dynasty continues with a look at how James Bond-loving supreme leader Kim Jong Il used propaganda to win both power and his father's approval.
North Korea loses Soviet patronage and Kim Jong Il kickstarts a nuclear weapons programme. As the economy fails, he prints fake $100 dollar bills, sets up narcotics factories and employs a private sushi chef.
A look at how Kim Jong Un consolidated power by killing his uncle and half-brother, his friendship with Dennis Rodman and his 2018 summit with Donald Trump.
