Sound of Freedom, the indie action drama film, has over $125 million in sales at the United States Box Office and will soon have better numbers sat the international broadcasting. Angel Studios, the Utah-based distribution company, claims release in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Latin America.
It has generated demands in the United States and different languages for a strong message about child trafficking. Jim Caviezel, Mira Sorvino, Bill Camp, Jose Zuniga, and actor-producer Eduardo Verastegui have been cast in the film.

It is about a federal agent who defends a boy from sex traffickers and then runs to the Colombian jungle to protect his sister. Inspired by the experiences of Tim Ballard, who has spent a life among cases of human trafficking and the bold criminal offenses documented in the movie, it is a controversial topic.
The thriller has no promotional campaign and has a low budget. It has a series of abductors and sex slavery which can be seen as manipulative and politically incorrect. This has started some serious criticisms about conspiracy theories.
Sound of Freedom: Outrageous Conspiracy
Mira Sorvino and Tim Ballard attended the premiere of Sound of Freedom on June 28 in Vineyard, Utah. Ballard is a former federal agent rescuing children from exploitation. The anti-trafficking activist is quite a controversial subject for the audience.
The disturbing factual and graphic depiction of child trafficking has been promoted. The children are kidnapped as a myth that traffickers target victims they don’t know, as reported by Polaris, an organization that operates the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline.
The perpetrators are romantic partners, spouses, family members, and parents. The extent of the film’s violence is called inaccurate, and the myths are dangerous.
The depictions are not at all healthy or logical, as they document coercive control or psychological manipulation. It is not helpful because these are not real facts and has adverse effects.
Children are carried on vehicles and manipulated in toxic situations. Real security camera footage of kidnappings has been depicted as completely real, but it is not always the case. It almost looks like the main subject is all kinds of disturbing things in the movie.
Caviezel has mentioned adrenochrome, a term that means producing a substance from children’s blood. Even Trump has supported the movie for its awareness. Sound of Freedom works on Tim Ballard, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security who saves children from outside the U.S. from traffickers who force them into prostitution for pedophiles. Ballard even advised President Donald Trump in 2019 on trafficking issues.
Real Vs. Movie
There are the poor, homeless, or killed by the police in America. There is a lack of healthcare, sexual abuse, and mass shootings. The audience learns about child modeling and sex slaves. Tim Ballard arrests people who sell and distribute child pornography.
He reads about a child sex club in Thailand which he uses as a cover story as a sting operation for children. He was assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. He’s worked in the United States and foreign countries to infiltrate child trafficking organizations.
So the movie doesn’t provide facts about how child trafficking looks like in the real world. Caviezel’s connection to the QAnon conspiracy gives the idea that Hollywood and Democrats are Satan, worshippers who run a global child sex trafficking ring to control politics and media. The adrenochrome theory has been denied by scientific people claiming that it does not have any rejuvenating properties.
