- Summary:
- This compelling portrait of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo strips away the myths to reveal the real Frida - a passionate, radical artist living through extraordinary times. She's the most famous female artist of the 20th century. But, over the years, Frida Kahlo's story has been distorted. This series sets the record straight on this extraordinary woman. It reveals how Mexican independence and politics shaped both Frida as an individual and as an artist. It explores the impact of her epic love affair with fellow artist Diego Rivera. And it shows how she ultimately strived to be independent - free from the control and influence of men.
