Liberal outlets trash movie that exposes horrors of child trafficking.
The film “Sound of Freedom,” which focuses on bringing attention to the global crisis of child trafficking, has been a big success in recent weeks, even topping “Indiana Jones” at the box office on July 4th weekend.
However, some in the media have criticized the film and downplayed the significance of the message the movie delivers. Operation Underground Railroad founder Tim Ballard, whose organization inspired the film, joined “Fox & Friends” Monday to call out the “grotesque” criticisms that the movie has received from leftists in the media.
Multiple liberal outlets have trashed “Sound of Freedom” as “QAnon-adjacent” and “fit for QAnon” in recent days, descriptions that relegate the film about human trafficking to fodder for conspiracy theorists.
Both U.K. publication The Guardian and website Jezebel claimed that the film starring Jim Caviezel, which was based on the true story of a U.S. Homeland Security agent rescuing two young children from human traffickers in South America, was attached to QAnon, a right-wing community that has been accused of buying into fringe conspiracy theories.
Although the film, produced by Angel Studios and released over the July 4 holiday, never engages in such conspiracy theories while exposing the underbelly of the real underground sex slave trade, both outlets linked the film to fringe right-wing extremists in an attempt to discredit it and its box-office success.
The former DHS investigator emphasized that every child and villain represented in the movie were based on actual events, calling it “sick” for people to come out against the film and compare it to conspiracies.
“This is just some other agenda, who would want to get the backs or run interference for pedophiles and human traffickers? That’s the more important question in all this. Why would you want to lie to push an agenda whose goal is to have children be in captivity? It’s kind of sick,” said Ballard.
