Following the sudden death of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in December 2011, the country observed a period of intense, highly coordinated public mourning. Citizens were filmed weeping and kneeling in mass ceremonies to demonstrate loyalty to the regime and the succession of his son, Kim Jong-un.
