UKIP is riding on a wave of success in by-elections and polls, but coverage normally focuses on just one man - leader Nigel Farage. This film goes to the beating heart of UKIP, the party stalwarts who work day in and out to try and propel their leader to Parliament.

With long-term access to the UKIP activists of Thanet, the film explores, through their views and personalities, why this party seems to be making such an impact on voters who feel disenfranchised from Westminster politics. In June last year UKIP made huge gains across Thanet, winning a 46 percent share of the vote in the European elections - their highest share in any UK borough.

Thanet represents many parts of Britain. There are complaints about unemployment and immigration and a feeling that it has been forgotten by the metropolitan elite. But not everyone in Thanet sees UKIP as the answer, and there is a fierce campaign against the party and its quest for election success. So can UKIP conquer Thanet? With special access, we follow the foot soldiers as they try and persuade the people that they have the answers.
