About us
Dir. Pip Piper, UK, 2025, 77 mins. Featuring Jo Bateman, Jeremy Vine, Jim Murray MBE and Chris Packham.
If you missed this brilliant film last time we screened it, here's your chance to catch it.
Jo in the Water follows passionate sea swimmer turned reluctant activist, Exmouth-based Jo Bateman, as she takes on one of the UK's biggest water companies in a David-and-Goliath battle to protect our waters 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? The film isn't 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.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with artists from Take A Part 's 'There Is No New Water - Toolkit For Ocean Citizen Action' project taking place in Plymouth.
The project is a 12-month socially engaged art commission led by artist Owen Griffiths that places art and co-creation at the heart of civic and environmental action. Running as a core part of the wider Ocean Cultures programme in Plymouth, the project brings local community groups together to explore ocean creativity and citizen activism. Through a collaborative curriculum of workshops and artist projects, it aims to establish a community-led model for ocean climate justice. Ultimately, the initiative will produce three interlinked practical toolkits designed to empower coastal communities locally and nationally to care for, respond to, and actively advocate for their marine environments.
'There Is No New Water - Toolkit For Ocean Citizen Action' is generously supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
