"A Small Light": The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who Saved Anne Frank's Family.
National Geographic's miniseries "A Small Light" tells the story of Miep Gies, who smuggled food to Anne Frank and seven others in hiding for 25 months, defying the Nazis and risking death. The series, which premieres on May 1, portrays Gies as an ordinary person who maintained that anyone can help others. The title references Gies' famous quote: "Even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can turn on a small light in a dark room." The series offers glimpses of lightness and contemporary touches, including current artists covering old music in each episode's closing credits.
