Hidden State: Inside North Korea

Mon., Jan. 19, 9 pm ET, Fault Lines gains rare access into North Korea to examine the impact of U.S. policies there

The leadership of the most secretive state on the planet changed hands in 2011 when Kim Jong Un became the Supreme Leader of North Korea following the death of his father.

Kim's approach to relations with the United States and the international community has been described as erratic. Since he came to power, he launched a long-range rocket, carried out a nuclear test and has been accused of orchestrating a cyberattack on Sony Pictures.

Fault Lines looks at life under Kim Jong Un and his relations with the United States through on-the-ground access in the capital of Pyongyang, exclusive interviews with recent defectors and insight from experts and scholars.
