The Works is a British short film directed by Elliot Barnes-Worrell in 2016. In his debut film, for which he also wrote the screenplay, the director uses only words from Shakespeare's work . The film takes place in the multicultural district of Peckham, which was once one of the posh areas of London, but is now a shabby area characterized by ethnic diversity and a poor, underprivileged and educationally disadvantaged population.

The film sketches the life of a group of young people who do not want to come to terms with the socio-economic situation into which they were born and their social disqualification.
