Bel Powley, Liev Schreiber, and Joe Cole have been announced as the stars of Disney+'s new National Geographic limited series A Small Light.
Members of the cast of Disney+'s new powerful limited series have officially been annouced. According to an article on Deadline, this eight-episode production will star The Morning Show actor Bel Powley in the leading role.
Co-stars on this sure-to-be incredible production include Ray Donovan's Liev Schriber, and Peaky Blinders' Joe Cole. This cast is getting ready to delve deep into a powerful and historic story.
A Small Light is a history series being produced by National Geographic. It will follow the story of the Dutch woman named Miep Gies, who put her own life at risk in order to protect Anne Frank's family from the Nazis and safeguard Anne Frank's diary through the years.
Otto Frank, Gies's boss, asked her if she would help protect himself and his family. Gies said yes without a moment's hesitation.
Gies will be played by Bel Powley. Otto Frank will be played by Liev Schriber.
Prior to Gies's death, she said:
"I don't like being called a hero because no one should ever think you have to be special to help others. Even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can turn on a small light in a dark room."
The series's title, A Small Light, comes from these powerful words.
We are eager to see this important story told when it comes to Disney+. We will keep you up to date on more information when it comes up.
