@AngelStudiosInc starring #JimCaviezel based on the true story of #TimBallard. It is a movie that is speaking about one of the most important topics in the world today.. child slavery, #HumanTrafficking.”
She continued, “I was grateful to watch it in a theater full of other human beings. The theater was packed. It was a beautiful thing to see the support. Tears definitely flowed throughout the film, with a heavy enlightening of what is happening in the world today but also with hope that this topic is finally gaining more traction and touching the hearts of people who can help make a difference. Maybe we all can just by becoming more aware. Support this movie. Go see it. ?”

CBN’s Faith Wire reported Ballard spoke on the true stories that inspired the film.
“If you don’t feel Jesus … you’re not gonna do this,” Ballard said of his efforts to rescue children. “And if you try, you’re not gonna last — at least I wouldn’t. Everything is faith to me. Everything is knowing what Jesus says about hurting kids. … He’s clear where He stands on it, and that gives you confidence in the Lord.”
SOUND OF FREEDOM star, Jim Caviezel explained that all believers should act on their faith.
“Our faith is paramount,” Caviezel expressed. “But it has to have something that comes from it. You love someone; it’s an action. It’s not what I say, it’s what I do. The problem is, in a lot of this modern-day Christianity, is people … are more afraid of the devil than they are of God.”
“And God could kill the devil without a glance,” he added. “And so, when I look at someone who might not want to watch this film, I say our love for God’s children has got to be more than our fear of evil. Our love for Jesus has got to be more than our fear of the cross, because, at some point, that [persecution] is going to happen.”
SOUND OF FREEDOM debuted on July 4 and made history. The film beat out Harrison Ford’s INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY in box office sales. SOUND OF FREEDOM became the number one film in America.
A part of Movieguide®’s review reads:
SOUND OF FREEDOM follows the inspiring true story of Tim Ballard, a former government agent who puts his life on the line to rescue hundreds of children from sex trafficking. After an operation that saves a young boy from trafficking, Tim learns the boy’s sister has also been sold into the sex trade. At first, he continues to operate under Homeland Security, but when funds run out, he takes matters into his own hands. With the help of a small team, Tim launches an investigation to save the boy’s sister, save many other children and bring the perpetrators to justice.
SOUND OF FREEDOM is gripping and heartbreaking, but hope-giving. The movie sheds light on the need for strong people to stand up for God’s children around the world who are caught in the vicious, abusive system of sex trafficking. SOUND OF FREEDOM has a strong Christian, moral worldview that promotes sacrifice and the message that “God’s children are not for sale.” MOVIEGUIDE® advises strong and extreme caution for the movie’s mature subject matter, implied and depicted violence, and abuse of children.
