After seeing the promotions about the true story movie, “Sound of Freedom”, we saw the movie on Monday, the 3rd. Now, I am urging everyone in the sound of my voice and the words of my blog to see it as soon as possible. It is in major theaters all over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The movie is based on the true story of Tim Ballard, the former Homeland Security Special Agent who has continued to devote himself to fighting child sex trafficking. He took his crusade private when he founded Operation Underground Railroad, with backing from Glenn Beck. The movie stars Jim Caviezel, who was Jesus in Mel Gibson\u2019s \u201cThe Passion of the Christ,\u201d 19 years ago. In the movie, he plays Tim Ballard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a beautiful family of his own (he and his wife Katherine have nine children, including two children they adopted who Tim helped rescue from traffickers) explains why he\u2019s fixated on the crime of trafficking: \u201cBecause God\u2019s children are not for sale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let me assure you that this isn\u2019t a typical \u201cChristian and Conservative\u201d movie of going from lost and bad people to those who have a radical life change when they commit themselves to the Lord — although those are great movies. But this movie opens all of our eyes, no matter our faith and our politics, to the sickening, horrendous crime of child trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSound of Freedom\u201d is a compelling movie that shines an authentic light on one of the crucial criminal horrors of our time, one that Hollywood has mostly shied away from. The movie was completed in 2018 and then shelved by Disney. It was finally bought back and is now being distributed by Angel Studios. Thanks be to God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Child sex trafficking doesn’t lend itself as an “entertainment” subject. Quite shocking to know, it is the fastest growing international criminal network the world has ever seen. A closing title states that there are more people enslaved now by sex trafficking, than there were when slavery was legal. And the nightmare lived by captured children is incomprehensible, unspeakable, unimaginable\u2026and all too real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the purposes of a movie like \u201cSound of Freedom\u201d is to sound the alarm, in the way that a dramatic feature film can do and that journalism often can\u2019t. It takes us into the forbidden zone. It taps our primal emotion of empathetic terror, and it is an urgent and honest one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jim Caviezel gives his most committed performance since \u201cThe Passion of the Christ.\u201d As a film critic stated: \u201cHe\u2019s seasoned now, with the smoldering aura of a more sensitive Clint Eastwood. He knows how to underplay the rage and despair, and how to make the drama of going undercover into something life-size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the movie, Special Agent Ballard made a decision to go after the traffickers, a nearly impossible task that\u2019s not backed by Homeland Security. As he travels down to Colombia, the film comes alive as an undercover thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We get a glimpse at darkness. We\u2019ve seen something about our world that makes the desire to \u201ctake action\u201d seem more than an action-movie gesture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn\u2019t my typical \u201craindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens\u201d or \u201cbe nice\u201d or \u201clove your enemies\u201d kind-of-blog today. This is an appeal to all of us to open our eyes to the enemy\u2019s tactics in our world. It is time for us to rise up in boldness and shout from the rooftops \u201cGod\u2019s Children ARE NOT For Sale\u201d!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
