Miep Gies was young, carefree, and opinionated — at a time when opinions got you killed ― when Otto Frank asked her to help hide his family from the Nazis. Told with a modern sensibility, A Small Light shakes the cobwebs off history and makes Miep’s story more relevant than ever, forcing audiences to ask themselves what they would have done in her shoes; and in modern times, asking if they would have the courage to stand up to hatred. Some stood by, Miep stood up.
