A documentary exploring one woman’s fight to save our rivers, lakes and seas is set to be screened at a Ludlow venue.

The film, titled Jo in the Water, will be shown at Ludlow Assembly Rooms with a special Q&A featuring director Pip Piper and guests.

It tells the story of Exmouth-based Jo Bateman, a sea swimmer turned activist who challenges one of the UK’s biggest water companies over sewage pollution.

Jim Murray MBE, an actor and activist angler featured in the film, said: "As someone deeply entrenched in the fight to save our waters from pollution I’m delighted to be part of this important documentary.

"Jo Bateman’s story is an inspirational one and she’s a fantastic example to the younger generation who will need to battle hard for their waters.

"This film is a joyful celebration of grassroots activism."

The screening and Q&A will take place on Thursday, June 18 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are available via the Ludlow Assembly Rooms website.
