When her husband dies, enemies threaten to overthrow her family's dynasty and tear the country in two. To save Egypt, Hatshepsut is forced to declare herself Pharaoh in a desperate effort to prevent civil war...
Movies have been made about many great women of history. Cleopatra (who lived 1500 years after Hatshepsut), Elizabeth, and Catherine the Great, just to mention a few. But none have ever been made about Hatshepsut. Why? We don't understand this. In contemporary terms, Hatshepsut not only broke the glass ceiling... she shattered it! She truly is the first great woman of history! Her story needs to be told!
