Next month, the Egyptian court will examine the appeal for damages to the amount of half a billion dollars submitted by former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's daughter against the Iranian president and the producer of the Iranian documentary film "The Assassination of a Pharaoh," on the grounds that it has harmed her father's reputation and distorted historical facts.
