Love and Loss

BBC Two - Becoming Frida Kahlo, Series 1, Love and Loss

Now married and living in 1930s America, Frida sees the ugly side of capitalism.

Now married and living in 1930s America, Frida sees the ugly side of capitalism, while political scandal engulfs Diego. Miscarriage and bereavement propel Frida to new heights.

Frida and Diego travel to San Francisco, where he has an important mural commission. Frida's style stirs much excitement, and she is determined to succeed in her own right in the face of Diego's affairs.

Shocked by the vast gap between rich and poor that she witnesses in Depression-era New York, she struggles to hide her disdain for high society. After losing a child to miscarriage and her mother to illness, she produces some of her most visceral and devastating works.
