Films at the Library: Jo in the Water

This preview screening marks the film’s first public showing since the premiere and ahead of its wider tour, offering audiences a rare opportunity to see the film early in an intimate, community setting.
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?
Featuring Jo Bateman, Jeremy Vine, Jim Murray MBE and Chris Packham.
“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
