Health rumors stoke curiosity in N. Korean documentary on Kim Jong-il
By Kim Hyun
SEOUL, July 16 (Yonhap) -- North Korea says it is making a documentary series that chronicles the life of Kim Jong-il, the first retrospective on the authoritarian ruler that analysts say is reminiscent of one produced before his father's death.
Following photographs that revealed a gaunt face, drooping lips and shrunken physique, reports about the documentary now in production raised the question that outside watchers have long brooded on since Kim's alleged stroke last year: Is the "Dear Leader" ready to pass the baton?
Seoul officials admitted the documentary is unprecedented for Kim, but drew a clear line between fact and speculation.
