Air date: Dec 29, 2018

The sun descends over the horizon, color radiating across the sky: It's the Magic Hour. Vincent van Gogh, enchanted by this spectacle, spent the twilight of his life searching for colors only he could see. During the final 2 years of his 10-year painting career, he produced over 300 masterpieces. Why did he embark on this lonely quest for color, to a foreign land so far from home? A journey in 8K, to the skies upon which Van Gogh gazed in the South of France, before ending his life at just 37.
