National Geographic’s eight-part limited series, A Small Light, returns with episodes 5 and 6 on Monday, May 15th, starting at 9/8c. Laughing Place is pleased to partner with Nat Geo to bring you an exclusive advance clip from the sixth episode, titled “Boiling Point.” In this scene, Miep (Bel Powley) and Jan Gies (Joe Cole) begin to buckle under the pressure of trying to save as many Jews as possible in Amsterdam.
About A Small Light:
- Based on an inspiring true story, Miep Gies (Bel Powley) was young, carefree and opinionated — at a time when opinions got you killed ― when Otto Frank (Liev Schreiber) asked her to help hide his family from the Nazis during WWII. 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 Miep’s shoes; and in modern times, asking if they would have the courage to stand up to hatred. Some stood by, Miep stood up.
