What is indigo? It 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. BLUE ALCHEMY is an hour-long documentary videotape that will explore the history and reveal the beauty and importance of indigo. It will weave stories about geography and culture, interviews with artists, artisans, and historians, and images of villagers using the dye into a video tapestry. The story will be told in a non-linear manner. Historical and present-day sequences will be inter-cut to reinforce indigo's roots in the past and its relevance to the present. Interviews, text on screen, photos and historical images, narration, and music will combine to present the multiple facets of indigo. Mary Lance, an award-winning producer/director with extensive experience in documentary production, is the filmmaker.
