BECOMING FRIDA KAHLO, a new 3-part documentary series, strips away the myths to reveal the real Frida – a passionate and brilliant artist living through extraordinary times. The series explores the major events of Kahlo's life, both personal and political, from her lifelong health problems to her complicated relationship with artist Diego Rivera, whom she married not once but twice. Their shared political commitment made both artists controversial figures – from their association with Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky in Mexico to their paradoxical relationships with some of America’s wealthiest figures...KPBS, More + Video Clips, https://www.kpbs.org/news/quality-of-life/2023/09/18/becoming-frida-kahlo
