Journalists Attacking The Film 'Sound Of Freedom'
I recently went to see the movie Sound of Freedom with the expectation of a moderate level of political commentary or religious pontificating, given the rabid and widespread attacks on the film by the leftist media. All I knew going in was that the indie production was about child trafficking and that the mainstream media HATES IT....
The first thing you'll probably notice is that the majority of these vitriolic diatribes use the exact same talking points...
... a simple investigation into Tim Ballard reveals endless evidence that he did in fact quit his job at DHS to operate in Central America to stop child trafficking rings...
There is no question that almost every detail in Sound Of Freedom is real. Any media outlet that says otherwise is lying...
Ballard says that it was primarily conservative host Glenn Beck that raised money for his operations that led to the rescue of hundreds of children....
... I can say with some authority that as a movie, Sound Of Freedom is well made and well executed. The overall acting is effective, the child performances are amazing, the editing is excellent and the cinematography is top notch...
Another issue to consider is that the political left has been aggressively targeting children with sexualization for the past several years, primarily through the imposition of trans ideology. They are turning the sexualization of minors into an activist movement...

Review: Sound of Freedom, by Jef Costello, Counter Currents, 17 July 2023.
... Sound of Freedom was actually completed in 2018, but no studio wanted to release it. Finally, a distribution deal was made with the Latin American subsidiary of 20th Century Fox. But then that studio was purchased by the Walt Disney Company, which sat on the film and refused to release it. In the end, the filmmakers bought the distribution rights back from Disney and released Sound of Freedom on July 4. Why would Disney not want this film released?...
... Sound of Freedom mentions that the United States is the world's number one consumer of child pornography, and number one destination for child sex traffickers (it's surprising to me how unsurprising I found this). Many children are brought into the country from Latin America, just as Sound of Freedom depicts, and this is greatly facilitated by the chaos at our southern border. Liberals correctly perceive that this forms the basis for a highly plausible, emotionally-charged case for sealing our border - one that both Republicans and rank-and-file, not-so-ideological Democrats could get behind. And they realize that Sound of Freedom is an incredibly effective tool that could ignite a nationwide discussion about this. But that cannot be allowed. We can't let a little thing like child sex slavery slow down the Great Replacement....
Could the message be any clearer? Hollywood has produced a string of mega-budget, over-produced, derivative, "woke" bombs — with Disney being hit particularly hard...
Please see this powerful film today (but bring a box of Kleenex). And tell your friends. Amongst other things, the film’s savvy marketing campaign features a "pay it forward" option allowing you to buy tickets for someone else. They can then claim the tickets online from the distributor's website and watch the film in a cinema near them. You can access that function, as well as other information on Sound of Freedom, here.

Tim Ballard: Thousands of Unaccompanied Children ‘Disappearing’ into U.S. Interior, Breitbart, 25 July 2023:
Establishment media outlets and other players do not want to have a conversation about what is happening to children, as thousands of unaccompanied children are disappearing into the U.S. interior, Tim Ballard, the individual at the center of the box office surprise Sound of Freedom, told Breitbart News during an exclusive interview at the Turning Point Action Conference in West Palm Beach, Florida...
“Tens of thousands of children — unaccompanied, young children — are disappearing into the belly of the beast, and they have to know that’s happening, but they care about their agenda more than that,” he said, explaining during the interview that “no background checks were done by the sponsors who came to get them.”
“It’s literally more difficult to adopt a cat out of the shelter than it is for a sponsor to show up and check one of these kids out and take them into the belly of the United States,”...
Finally, here's a cautionary message:
The Sound Of Freedom; Evangelical Alliance With Open Borders, by Federale, 20 July 2023:
... Yes, children are molested and even kidnapped in the United States, but there are few, if any, commercial child sexual exploitation enterprises as shown in the film in the United States... he real problem in the United States though is mostly open and public sexual exploitation and mutilation of children, mostly by or for homosexual men, trannies, and the parents of children who support whatever deviancy is presented to them for public consumption and virtue signaling...
The unholy alliance between nation busters and Evangelical Christians has been damaging the United States since 2000, when those who favor unlimited immigration to replace the Historic American Nation came together with Evangelical Christians to virtue signal about slavery and the non-existent problem of unaccompanied illegal alien minors entering the United States...
The Sound of Freedom is not particularly accurate when dealing with real child sex trafficking into the United States... While passport and immigration fraud are common at the border with regards to children, it is to bring children to live here with their parents or other relatives mostly living here illegally, not for sexual exploitation...
From my 24 years professional experience with the legacy Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and with DHS, I never heard of any sex trafficking case, other than one-off cases in the news...
It is fine for Americans to go overseas in search of monsters to slay, but the Sound Of Freedom is more likely to end up as propaganda for those who want to open up America’s borders...
