Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This marks the first documentary to secure full rights to Kahlo's entire written archive, including 200+ unpublished letters.
The film deliberately excludes Diego Rivera's voice recordings, a radical reversal of decades of Frida narratives where he narrates her life.
