BLUE ALCHEMY: STORIES OF INDIGO is an independent, feature-length documentary about the history, culture, and revival of the blue dye. It’s also about remarkable people around the globe who are using indigo in projects intended to improve life in their communities, preserve cultural integrity, and bring beauty to the world.
WHAT IS INDIGO?
Indigo is a blue dye that has been in use worldwide for millennia, a vibrant color laden with symbolic meaning, a commodity that was once central to international trade and colonial economies, and the reason that blue jeans are blue. Indigo dye comes from plants. It produces a color so desirable that it was once one of the most important products in the global economy.

In BLUE ALCHEMY, we see some of this rich history but we focus on the uses of indigo today, both people who are maintaining centuries-old indigo-dyeing traditions and groups that are reviving it for sustainable and community development.
