1. The Great Reset

Available for over a year

Four young idealists - Sonia, Kieran, Indigo and Ayad - fall under the spell of charismatic thinker Faith Abbott at university and channel her ideas into a bold political experiment: Project Hope. In 2020 they start to reinvent politics from the ground up. But nearly a decade on Britain stands divided, and the group has splintered. When Sonia discovers Faith has denounced Project Hope from beyond the grave, she is forced to revisit the group's remarkable beginnings. Was their experiment always doomed to fail? Good People is a fictional story set against our very real political moment, examining the rise of populism, the perceived failure of politics-as-usual, and the deep divisions that run though our country and beyond. This is the first episode in an ambitious six-part state of the nation drama from award-winning political writer Steve Waters. CAST Sonia ..... Natalie Simpson Faith .....
