Director Carla Guiterrez explains what she learned about Frida through making this film, the significance of Mexico in the 1920s, and how she took creative risks to make Frida's art come to life.And So It Begins follows the 2022 Philippine election as Vice President Leni Robredo battles against Ferdinand Marcos Jr, son of the former Filipino dictator.
