With Thomas Kretschmann, Romola Garai, Iain Glen, Tim McInnerny. The Windermere Children (2020) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more. The Windermere Children told this story as a drama, which is a good thing, as memories can't be allowed to fade, and it all helps, but it was serviceable rather than anything more memorable. Directed by Michael Samuels. This is the stark, moving ultimately redemptive story of the bonds these children make with one another, and of how the friendships forged at Windermere become a lifeline to a fruitful future.
