Frida Kahlo Documentary: Frida's Birth & The Power of Woman | Clip from "Frida Kahlo" (1982)

Clip from the documentary "Frida Kahlo" (1982) on the legendary, groundbreaking Mexican painter. With information and explanations on her most famous works.
The beginning of the documentary gives an introduction into the cultural meaning of Frida Kahlo. It deals with the revolutionary way in which the artist made women (and the experience of womanhood) visible in art - while radically breaking boundaries and taboos in the depiction of the body, motherhood, and birth.
So how was Frida born - as a human being and artist - and how does this event connect her to her mother? As always in her art - the artist captured the very beginnings and foundation of her life through her own female gaze.
