Premiering Monday on National Geographic’s television channel and then streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, “A Small Light” is the coming-of-age story of Miep, who - in this dramatized, “inspired by actual events” telling - is first seen waking up hung over, in what appears to be her dress from the night before. It recounts the tale of the Frank family in World War II Amsterdam from the point of view of someone who was both intimately close to, and infinitely removed from, their suffering: Miep Gies, one of the extraordinarily brave Dutch civilians who helped to hide the Franks from the occupying Nazis for two years. The mini-series “A Small Light” is the Anne Frank story, but then it isn’t.
