00:37 Let me tell you about a little girl born in Mexico.

00:40 She would grow up to be one of the most famous artists

00:49 in the world.

00:51 We all recognize her face and that look.

00:54 But who was she really?

00:59 And why is she more loved now than ever before?

01:06 This daughter of the revolution lived an ordinary life.

01:10 And hers is no easy tale to tell.

01:14 Frida Kahlo was a rule breaker.

01:18 The way she broke taboos, the way she broke the norm

01:22 was completely revolutionary and transgressive.

01:27 She doesn't respect things that should be respected,

01:31 like birth, blood, miscarriages.

01:35 She made no concessions about her art.

01:39 She was strong and ambitious, an answer to no one.

01:43 But she was also driven and tormented by love.

01:47 She said, I love Diego more than I love my own life.

01:51 She would always come back to Diego Rivera,

01:53 like an obsession, an obsession that was painful.

02:00 So why do we still idolize her, this mixed up

02:04 mess of contradictions?

02:07 And why can't we take our eyes off her?

02:10 What people see in her is all that power of rebellion,

02:15 irreverence.

02:18 For people who are queer, for people who are brown,

02:22 for people who are creative in different ways.

02:26 She teaches us about identity.

02:33 Art was her superpower.

02:35 In the end, I don't need her perfect.

02:42 She was genius.
