SXSW TV REVIEW: DisneyPlus series tells the story of the family that hid Anne Frank.
Most everyone is familiar with the name Anne Frank . But most of us know little about Miep Gies, the young woman who hid Anne along with her family and the others from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II, and the focus of SXSW selectionThe series is about Miep and what the decision to hide the Franks from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands.depicts Miep a party girl, with no direction in life.
In the two episodes shown at the SXSW premiere, Powley plays Miep as immediately likeable and relatable as a modern young woman who likes to enjoy life, but may not be super-responsible. Otto Frank is played by the terrific Liev Schreiber, and the episodes introdue the rest of the Frank family along with others Miep hides in the Opekta attic, including Anne and Dr. Pfeffer .
During the Q&A, the creators of the show were asked about their inspiration. Joan Rater explained that while she and her husband, Tony Phelan, were touring the Anne Frank House with their children, she realized they realized that their son was the same age as Miep was when she took in the Franks. She thought about her son, who is smart but also maybe doesn’t have a lot of common sense, and wondered if maybe Miep was the same. The couple decided it was time to tell her story.
We all know the tragic end of the story, of course. What we don’t know are the lengths that Miep, her co-workers, her husband, Jan Gies , and the resistance went to to keep the Franks and the others hidden away from the Nazis. The creators said they didn’t want “play the end”, meaning, yes, everyone knows what happens to the Franks in the end, but they are telling the story about the events that lead up to the tragedy.
