A passionate sea swimmer turned reluctant activist, Jo Bateman takes on one of the UK’s biggest water companies in a David-and-Goliath battle to protect our oceans from devastating sewage pollution.
As Jo’s courage helps ignite a growing movement, this film exposes the dire state of our water system and asks: who will stand up for our right to swim in clean natural waters, and for the species and communities that rely upon them?
Jo in the Water is a powerful, emotional feature-length documentary that is not just about water pollution; it is about connection - to nature, to our own sense of place, and to our responsibility for the world around us.
Followed by a Q&A with Director Pip Piper and Jo Bateman.
