A Small Light

Screening of the first episode (in English with French subtitles) followed by a discussion with Bel Powley, Amira Casar and Joe Cole (actors), Tony Phelan (showrunner, executive producer, director and screenwriter) et Susanna Fogel (executive producer, director).

Based on an inspiring true story, 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 during WWII. Told with a modern sensibility, A Small Light shakes the cobwebs off history and makes Miep’s story feel relevant, 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.

Moderated by: Lubiie (Lubie en série) and Romain Nigita (JDD)
