Paul MacKenzie Director: Katherine Gilday Category: Documentary Studio: Questar Subtitles: [None] Length: 50 mins     Narrated by Angelica Huston For centuries, the real Cleopatra has been shrouded behind legends and myths.Roman and Greek accounts - the records most widely scrutinized - have portrayed the Queen of Egypt as a brazen temptress who corrupted both Caesar and Marc Antony, but was this portrait an accurate one?Cleopatra: The First Woman of Power considers the legendary Queen from the perspective of the Egyptians.Their records portray her as a visionary ruler and brilliant strategist, motivated not by wanton lust or greed but a genuine concern for her kingdom.The Egyptians saw Cleopatra as a strong leader who won the loyalties of a distrustful populace, resisted Roman rule for 20 years and amassed a fortune so great that Rome's interest rates dropped by two-thirds when her treasure was brought there upon her death.This one hour program utilizes re-enactments, original location footage and interviews with leading historians to look behind the legends and shed light on this woman who has captivated generations.
