About us
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director Pip Piper, Jo Bateman and Anne-Marie Culhane.
Dir. Pip Piper, UK, 2025, 77 mins. Featuring Jo Bateman, Jeremy Vine, Jim Murray MBE and Chris Packham.
Jo in the Water follows a 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?
Jo in the Water is a feature-length documentary made by award-winning filmmakers with a strong track record of bringing powerful stories to our cinema screens. 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.
"Jo inspires people… they realise that together we have a greater strength. In a shoal like this we become mighty." – Chris Packham, Wildlife TV presenter & conservationist
More about the film on the official website.
Anne-Marie Culhane is an eco-artist, activist and co-deviser of Tidelines and Salmon Run working with Take A Part in Plymouth as part of their Ocean Cultures programme.
