Black Death Patient Zero explores the origins of the 14th-century Black Death pandemic, using new DNA analysis to investigate its earliest victims. The show investigates the plague's spread from Central Asia, with filming locations in the UK, Italy, and Germany, and highlights scientific efforts to trace the pandemic's roots, such as the study of plague victims found in Kyrgyzstan in 1338 or 1339.
