FILM: Jo in the Water (+ Q&A with Director Pip Piper & Jo Bateman)

We are delighted to be joined by Jo Bateman and Director Pip Piper for this screening.

Sea swimming is Jo Bateman’s sanctuary—until sewage spills threaten the waters she loves.

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, for the species and communities that rely upon them?

Jo in the Water is a powerful, emotional feature-length documentary film. It 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.

Director: Pip Piper
Featuring Jo Bateman, Jeremy Vine, Jim Murray MBE, and Chris Packham.
