Story Synopsis

Director Stephen Gyllenhaal’s screen adaptation of Graham Swift’s novel Waterland stars Academy Award® winner Jeremy Irons (Reversal Of Fortune). Irons portrays a frustrated teacher who finds his cynical students somewhat less than thrilled by the traditional presentations of lessons in world history. When he begins to tell them a series of very personal stories, they join him on a journey into his past that changes their perspectives and shows them the importance of history in understanding the present. This is a very powerful and provocative motion picture.
