Overview

Cleopatra is a historical documentary that strips away centuries of myth and distortion to reveal the real woman behind one of history's most iconic names. Born into a tenacious Greek-Macedonian dynasty, Cleopatra fought — and killed — for her throne, mounting a valiant but ultimately doomed effort to save ancient Egypt. The film challenges the romanticized portrayals perpetuated by Hollywood films and theatrical works, asking how much of what the world believes about Cleopatra is truth versus projection. A thought-provoking reassessment of a political genius reduced by history to a symbol of seduction.
