Objectif et finalité

Through this film, we hope to increase awareness on impact of the accidents to one's family and the importance of social security coverage so that contributors and their dependents can enjoy benefits and have a more secure future.

The messages are embedded in the dramatization of the life of the family.

- Employment injury affects not only the organization, but also the family and society.

- Although employment injury is always termed as an 'accident' - these accidents can be avoided if the employee practices caution and follows the safe practices while at work, or on the road.

- subtle messages on safe work practices and road safety are embedded into the movie.

- employment injuries causes psychological trauma to the victim, but also to the person who causes it (depicted by the action of the antagonist in the film, who caused the accident to the main character)

- despite injury and disability, a proper rehabilitation approach may provide better function to the disabled persons at the individual and societal level.

- the importance of knowing one's right, in safety, health and social security protection.

Warkah also hopes to instill the importance of creating a caring society, which will drive the country to become a developed nation.
