4. The Miracle

Available for over a year

Sonia finally tracks down her estranged friend Indigo to face their shared history. Did she betray her Project Hope teammate all those years ago? Sonia remembers Project Hope finally making waves in Branwich, with the help of their new poster‑girl, Abbie. But momentum was never going to pay the bills. They needed funding, urgently, and that meant calling in favours from old friends in high places. And a choice that would threaten the very foundations of the group. Series Overview 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. Thrown into a struggling coastal town vulnerable to the far right, they try to reinvent politics from the ground up, backed - and sometimes undermined - by the unpredictable Abbie. Project Hope captures global attention, but when Faith denounces them from beyond the grave, the group are forced to confront their shared history, and the moral compromises they've made to remain “good people”. 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 fourth episode in an ambitious six-part state of the nation drama from award-winning political writer Steve Waters. CAST Sonia ..... Natalie Simpson Indigo ..... Alby Baldwin Abbie .....
