The Project is a BBC two-part 2002 television drama, directed by Peter Kosminsky from a script by Leigh Jackson. The series presented a fictionalised account, seen through the experiences of three young activists, of developments in the Labour Party and its progress into Blairism, from the party's failure to win the 1992 General Election through its election victory in 1997 to its re-election victory in 2001.
