Wiki.

The Mass of Men is a 2012 British short film directed by Gabriel Gauchet, a student of the National Film and Television School (NFTS). Peter Faulkner stars as Richard, an unemployed man who is penalised for arriving late to a job centre appointment with his advisor Kate, played by Jane McDowell.

According to Gauchet, the film was based on the experiences of friends and family who were jobseekers and suffered similar humiliation.

It has been selected by 111 film festivals and is a winner of 58 awards. The film is one of the three films from the NFTS that swept the board at the annual CILECT awards in 2013.
