A Small Light focuses on the real-life story of Miep Gies, who played a critical role in hiding Anne Frank and her family.

The powerful, eight-episode limited series tells the remarkable story of 20-something secretary Miep Gies, who didn't hesitate when her boss Otto Frank asked her to hide him and his family from the Nazis during World War II. For the next two years, Miep, her husband Jan and several other everyday heroes watched over the eight souls hiding in the secret annex. It was Miep who found Anne's diary and preserved it so that she and Otto could later share it with the world. The series title comes from something Gies said late in her life: "I don't like being called a hero because no one should ever think you have to be special to help others. Even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can turn on a small light in a dark room."
