Transition Towns Bournemouth present “Jo in the Water”

Jo in the Water follows passionate sea swimmer turned reluctant activist Jo Bateman as she takes on one of the UK’s biggest water companies in a real-life David-and-Goliath battle to defend our rivers, lakes and seas from devastating sewage pollution. As Jo’s determination sparks a growing movement, the film lays bare the shocking state of the UK’s water system and asks a vital question: Who will stand up for our right to swim in clean, safe waters? This feature-length documentary goes beyond pollution. It’s about connection to nature, to place, and to our shared responsibility to protect the ecosystems and communities that depend on clean water.
