A sensational fly-on-the-wall report over the past six weeks of campaigning for the leadership of the British opposition party. The contest is all about change for the Conservatives. But what kind of change are they up for? This is a report that foreign broadcasters will love to run as it gives a deep insight into the party that dominated British politics for nearly 20 years up until 1997. Now is it time for one of the contenders in the Tory leadership contest to accept defeat? David Cameron is the clear favourite at the moment. But is he certain to win with the tory faithful? David Modell has spent ten years observing the Conservative party - first as a photographer and then as a film-maker. And he’s been with the contenders at key moments in the past six weeks, and this report focuses on how they and their messages are being received by those who get to make the decision about how the party moves forward.
