Nat Geo biopic ‘A Small Light’ keeps viewers hooked, fans celebrate unsung hero Miep Gies

​The miniseries highlights Miep Gies, the young woman who helped hide Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Telling a story is much more than writing a script and telling a line. It is about bringing the essence of cinema to the retelling of a story that has been buried and disappeared for far too long. Historical biopics not only bring back conversations about some of the most influential people but also educate a whole new generation. National Geographic brought us the story of an unsung heroine who sacrificed everything to protect people she did not even know well. The story of Miep Gies is very inspiring and rarely told. The story of Anne Frank has been known for many years now, but Nat Geo's latest series, 'A Small Light,' tells the story of someone without whom we would not have received a classic piece of literature.

Fans on the internet are celebrating Miep Gies and her legacy that wasn't spoken about or discussed more often. The series is exclusively available to watch on Nat Geo and simultaneously available on Hulu and Disney+. With a great cast and an inspiring story, the production has done a phenomenal story of Miep Gies and the Frank family.
