ASmallLight stars Liev Schreiber, Bel Powley, & EP Tony Phelan spoke with us about the importance of telling Miep Gies’ powerful story
The key to the series was to portray Gies, who passed away in 2010, as a real, fully developed person—flaws and all. One of the first times viewers meet Gies she’s severely hungover. Her parents are upset that she is both jobless and husbandless. She’s a good-natured party girl with few prospects.
One way to make the series more approachable was to keep the dialogue more modern. “[Showrunner and executive producer] Joan [Rater] and Tony made a real concerted effort to have the dialogue play in a very contemporary way and to have very contemporary themes. All of that is very intentional,” Schreiber says. “I was nervous about it because it could have become cloying or sentimental or too referential somehow.
Schreiber was in the Ukraine working with BlueCheck Ukraine, an organization he co-founded when he got the script. “What BlueCheck does is we are basically a path for people in the West who want to help with humanitarian aid and support. I was encountering very real ordinary people doing extraordinary things and then the script came to me.”
Phelan also notes that the Holocaust is not that far in the past. “When we were scouting locations in Amsterdam, we discovered there was a survivor living there who came and showed us his Auschwitz money. When we went to scout location in Prague, a quarter of the train station had been taken over with refugees, and you are kind of like this is happening now. It’s the same thing.”

Breakingviews - Ford and GM can afford to put on a brave faceDetroit says everything is going great; the stock market seems unconvinced. Automakers General Motors and Ford Motor reported operating profit well above Wall Street’s expectations in the first quarter. Both companies say good times should continue despite a darkening economic picture and billions of dollars in required investments in electric vehicles. Their battery-powered makeovers carry risks, but 3.6 million missing car sales thanks to Covid-era shortages means their gas-guzzler cash cows can put on a brave face, thanks to plenty of unfulfilled demand.
