“A Small Light” isn’t Anne Frank's story, though the teen’s legacy is embedded throughout. The series is a tale of resistance, activism and humanity, centering on one tenacious young woman, Miep Gies, who risked everything to save the Frank family.
The story of Anne Frank, the Jewish teenager who hid in a cramped attic with her family during the Nazi occupation in Amsterdam, is widely known, and amid the atrocities of the Holocaust, Anne’s diary presents a story of resilience and unrealized dreams. Nat Geo’s new limited series “” isn’t Anne’s story, though the precocious teen’s legacy is embedded throughout.
With Margot safely sequestered, the series goes back in time to 1933. Nine years before the Franks vanished from Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, the audience is introduced to a 20something Miep, whose life and focus are a world away from Germany’s newly installed Nazi regime. By framing the pilot around Miep’s past, the audience becomes acquainted with a woman — an immigrant in her own right —who has always shunned tradition, embraced the ostracized and marched to the beat of her own drum. Miep’s bond with the Frank family, Anne in particular, becomes a central component of the show. Therefore, nine years later, as Miep nimbly moves through now-Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, it’s clear why she doesn’t hesitate when Otto asks for her help.
“Motherland,” the series’ third episode, is a standout. The lack of space, light, and freedom wears on the mental health and well-being of the hidden and oppressed. This is carefully juxtaposed with the exhaustion and sorrow felt by Miep, Jan and their fellow resisters, who are trying to maintain their courage in a world festering with hate. In the episode, Jan is tasked with collecting a package, which leads to a jaw-dropping revelation.
