North Korean leader Kim Jong Un paints own identity through documentary

Since taking over for his recently deceased father, new North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has showed the world that he will continue to press domestic military policies. With his fathers sudden death, the world and its leaders watched with scrutiny as this twenty-something year old man stepped into power with what seemed to be little grooming. However, this appears to now not be the case. A documentary was shown on state television highlighting that back in 2009, Un vowed to wage war with any states who chose to shoot down their recently fired rocket. The documentary, a multi-segemented feature, is aimed at persuading the North Korean mass public that Un has been at the helm of the military for some time now; hoping to put any thoughts of a naive, inexperienced leader to rest.
