Lunchtime Film Series: The Nature of Things – Searching for Cleopatra

Uncover the truth about one of the richest and most powerful women in history.

The Nature of Things – Searching for Cleopatra (44 min.) distributed by Curio. In this compelling documentary, lawyer-turned-archaeologist Kathleen Martinez embarks on a remarkable quest to uncover the final resting place of Cleopatra — and to better understand her enduring legacy.

With immense wealth and political power, Cleopatra was one of the most iconic figures of the ancient world. The film explores her political brilliance, scholarly accomplishments, and history-shaping alliances with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony.

For centuries, Cleopatra’s mythology has captivated imaginations — from William Shakespeare to modern filmmakers and historians. Now, through groundbreaking archaeological research, Searching for Cleopatra seeks to separate myth from reality and reveal the woman behind the legend.

Join us for this fascinating exploration of power, legacy, and one of history’s most extraordinary leaders.
