Jada Pinkett Smith is behind a new Netflix docuseries looking at the life of the infamous Cleopatra - but people aren't talking about the things the series intended.
From May 10, a 4-part docuseries on Netflix will be examining the lives of prominent and iconic Queens. Cleopatra takes centre stage in Queen Cleopatra, as one of the world's most famous and powerful Queens of them all. Proving that women suffer similar fates through generations, instead of focusing on the achievements of a daring queen, history has instead chosen to remember Cleopatra for her reported beauty and relationships - totally overshadowing her intellect. With her story constantly embellished and rewritten, the series aims to take another look at her fascinating and often misunderstood story. There are already controversies surrounding the documentary series, and the questions it raises surrounding her origin and heritage, which we will explore here.
