Controversy Surrounds Cleopatra's Portrayal in Netflix Documentary.

Director Tina Gharavi defends the decision to cast a Black actress as Cleopatra in the upcoming Netflix series "Queen Cleopatra," citing historical evidence that the Egyptian queen was unlikely to be white. Gharavi also addresses the backlash she received from Egyptians who accused her of "blackwashing" and "stealing" their history.
