A Small Light (Season 1)

"A Small Light" (2023) is a National Geographic drama series you can watch online on iFILM, centered on a young Dutch woman named Miep Gies.

Miep is working as a secretary for businessman Otto Frank when he asks the unthinkable: hide my family. She says yes without flinching. What follows stretches across more than two years, as she, her husband Jan and a handful of others keep eight people alive in concealed rooms above the office in occupied Amsterdam. One of the hidden is a teenage girl named Anne Frank.

Bel Powley plays Miep not as a saint but as an ordinary person who keeps choosing the dangerous option, with Joe Cole as Jan and Liev Schreiber as Otto. It was Miep who later saved Anne's diary. Across eight episodes, the series makes a quiet argument: one stubborn person can stand up to an entire regime. Stream "A Small Light" online on iFILM.
