So, I don't know if documentaries go here or the VV, but Netflix recently released this trailer:
Apparently, Netflix has decided that they should start their documentary series on 'African queens' with Cleopatra VII, who they for some reason claim was black (as in sub-Saharan black). Note that this is not just casting a black actress as Cleopatra in a fictional drama, which would be fine (if perhaps hypocritical); they are explicitly claiming in a documentary that Cleopatra was actually black.
Needless to say, Netflix have caught quite a bit of flak for this (the trailer has comments disabled; I wonder why). The harshest reactions have come from Egypt itself; the project was denounced by a former antiquities minister, and one Egyptian lawyer is outright suing Netflix.
Also, is it just me or does it really look like Netflix is going for a stereotypical 'Mummy Returns' depiction of Egypt rather than the proper Hellenistic society of this period?
