Exclusive: Check out a scene from NatGeo’s A Small Light, arriving May 1, in which Bel Powley's Miep Gies first goes to work for Live Schreiber's Otto Frank:
National Geographic’s A Small Light is the story of Miep Gies, the Dutch woman who hid Anne Frank and her family, among others, for just over two years. The powerful story is brought to life in part by showrunners Joan Rater and Tony Phelan and director Susanna Fogel who, in an interview with Screen Rant, made it clear that they wanted to share Gies’ life in a new and engaging way.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A Small Light excels thanks in part to the strength of its cast, which includes Bel Powley as Miep Gies and Liev Schreiber as Otto Frank. Powley is compelling in the series, handling the show’s heart, heaviness, and even humorous moments with agility, and Schreiber delivers a performance to meet even the best episodes of Ray Donovan.
A Small Light Shines Thanks To Its Modern Tone The tone of the above clip may initially seem incongruous with the idea of a show about what happened to Anne Frank and her family. This is the biggest strength of A Small Light; although the show has all the darkness inherent to the actual events, it does an exceptional job of humanizing its subjects through lighter moments.
Miep Gies herself made it clear she didn’t see herself as a hero, and A Small Light makes her choices all the more powerful by painting her as just another citizen. Gies in A Small Light is headstrong, impatient, and even flighty until she chooses to take on a responsibility that would forever change her life. For telling this incredible story in such a way, A Small Light has the chance to not only raise awareness about Gies, but also to inspire viewers to follow her example.
A Small Light premieres on May 1st on National Geographic, and will then be available to stream on Hulu and Disney+.
