Film Screening: The Windermere Children

28/01/2025 - 28/01/2025

6:30pm - 8pm

Lakeside Theatre

Join JSoc to watch The Windermere Children, a film about Jewish child refugees who were relocated to the UK to escape the Holocaust.

Free tickets for the film screening can be booked here

"This stunning film recounts the true story of a group of young adults rescued from Nazi concentration camps and brought for rehabilitation, on the shores of Lake Windermere, to prepare for a new life in the UK.  A beautifully made, deeply touching drama with outstanding performances - including cameos from the surviving children of Windermere themselves - this film is also a wonderful reminder of the profound impact of kindness on traumatised, troubled refugees.

Please note: Due to licensing restrictions, this screening is only available to University of Essex Staff and Students."
