The name

One dye. Four continents. Six thousand years.

Indigo takes its name from the oldest traveled colorant in human history. It was born in India, carried along trade routes into West Africa, refined into an art in Japan, and worked into the American South through enslaved hands who brought knowledge as well as labor.

One substance, dozens of cultures, centuries of trade and meaning. That crossing of borders is the channel's editorial spine. Every show starts with a question about where something came from, and stays long enough to answer it.
