Creator Quote – Mattika Silk
​
“I created The World Mission because I believe cinema has the power to awaken humanity. This project comes from my love for martial arts, my respect for science, and my deep belief that compassion and courage can change the world.
This is not just a film—it is my life’s mission to inspire people to fight for what is right, to protect humanity, and to remember that we are stronger when we stand together.”
