Netflix's upcoming docudrama "Queen Cleopatra" – the second in the "African Queens" series of historical projects – has sparked outrage across Egypt over its casting of a biracial actor to play the titular role of Cleopatra.
British actor Adele James, who is dark-skinned and of mixed heritage, plays the first-century Egyptian ruler as a queen with African heritage, much to the dismay of archaeologists, academics, legal experts and online critics.
