Casting controversy surrounding Netflix's upcoming history documentary Queen Cleopatra sparks a response from an Egyptian government agency.
After sparking controversy regarding one of its cast, Netflix's Queen Cleopatra documentary recently sparked a response from an Egyptian government agency. Black actor Adele James stars as Cleopatra VII Philopator, the legendary North African ruler in a dramatized four-part series detailing her life and reign over Egypt.
The appearance of the heroine is a falsification of Egyptian history and a blatant historical fallacy, especially since the film is classified as a documentary film and not a dramatic work, which requires those in charge of its production to investigate accuracy and rely on historical and scientific facts to ensure that history and civilizations are not falsified.

Thanks to the varying depictions, gaps in her family tree and her Greek Macedonian ancestry, debates have raged for years about the queen's ethnicity.
