A Goldwater swimming film that’s an urgent call to action in the fight to save our rivers, lakes and seas. A fight that is urgent and shocking, those who have seen the recent Channel 4 series Dirty Business and want to know how they can make a difference join us for this film + Q&A event.

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.

The film’s protagonist, Jo Bateman, and Director Pip Piper (Chasing the Sun) will be joining us for a Q&A.

Please note: doors open at 7pm and there will be stalls and conversation in the bar before the screening starts at 7:30pm
