Just watched the last few episodes of a show called "A Small Light".
Oh my gosh... that was one of the best shows I've seen, it was amazing.
It's about the Frankes in WW2 who hid in the attic.
But this perspective was from Miep, who was the one who hid the family with help from others.
I did research and this show was so historically accurate. And the building where they stayed as it is in the show was an exact replica. They mapped it all out and everything. The design team was so meticulous, they said everything was carefully made and detailed. Down to the doorknobs and light bulbs.
Even the actors and actresses looked like who they played.
The actors and actresses for Miep, Jan, Anne, Otto, ect, all looked similar to the actual historical figures.
At the very end of the last episode, they show side by side photos.
While in the beginning of each episode it says: "Some events are fictional and for dramatic purposes", I did the research and there are VERY few things I could find that weren't true in the show.
They just say that cause there are a few things like with Jan being part of the rebellion. He didn't talk a lot about what he did, so the creators if the show just wrote in some things of what MIGHT have happened with him being part of the fighting cause against the Nazis and they tried not stretching it too far.
But they show lots of things and don't only focus on the Frankes, because they helped others that were in other places...
It was truly a masterpiece of a show.
I loved how they kept it as historically accurate as they could with everything they knew.
