Behind The Legend of Frida Kahlo.  

Frida Kahlo and her artwork are known across the world. What is lesser known is the story behind Frida, and how she worked tragedy into art.

In 1925, Frida Kahlo was on her way home from school in Mexico City when the bus she was riding collided with a streetcar. She suffered near-fatal injuries and her disability became a major theme in her paintings. Over the course of her life, she would establish herself as the creator and muse behind extraordinary pieces of art. Iseult Gillespie dives into the life and work of Frida Kahlo.
