I can't stand to even think about it, but I'll watch the movie. Fighting this disgusting, barbaric, and horrific trafficking is an effort worth supporting.

He was blackballed by the usual suspects in Hollywood for accurately portraying the details of the Passion of Christ. The usual suspects recoil at the telling of the truth.
It's not even being released until July 4th, it will go to a streaming channel soon....bet on it, the only way they make money on the film.

Calm down grandpa.
Not everyone wants to support these independent films.
For you to longcat a list of locations that the film CAN'T be watched is ironic, considering it hasn't been released yet....so your cognitive abilities are in question not mine, I support the film and context.
As a father of 3 wonderful kids, I often wonder what I'd do if someone did something horrible to one of them. I've easily come to the conclusion that there is no level of retribution that I'm willing not to attain. I have many plans.
Met a guy that is involved in catching these predators at a party once. There's a real problem out there. These f@#kers have it down pat. Sort of an underground railroad he said. You could see that his job has taken its toll on him but he was totally invested. I completely believe this problem has its tentacles in the highest realms of our government. I don't understand the attraction to kids but I guess I don't have to. What I do know, is that there is no fixing these predators. We all know the solution. I'm resolute about that.

At the end of both trailers,Jim Caviezel requests that people buy tickets for their family or go to the site and "pay forward" for others who may be interested in this film.He states that by doing this,it's the the best way to support this film.
I provide the links so people interested can do just what Caviezel requested.
So when I provided the information that it's not being streamed,you whine.
Go to the 2 minute 18 second mark and review his request and why he made this request.

Well, at least you admit when you're wrong....looks like a great film, thanks for sharing the info.

My wife and I have discussed this and I'm resolute as to what I would do.
This problem is multiplying on a scale never before seen or imagined.
This was the reason Bill Clinton bombed our old WW2 allies in KOSOVO and turned it over to the Caliphate.
It's also part of the reason Zero and Kilery killed Kadafy and turned Lybia over to tge Caliphate. That nation had a better standard of living and now many, many kids there sell themselves for cups of rice or wheat.
Child trafficking is the biggest reason Sickermores, Plumdumb's, Gayghost's, Lostinhell's, Direct Drive's and Houston's DNC buds did their all to stop the Wall.
Like Lara Logan said, the Bidet Govt has lost track of 80,000 illegal immigrant kids. There is no telling how many have been raped and sold into slavery in the US or how many have been turned into Neonazi pizza or tortured and had their adrenaline Laden blood drained to feed scum like Killery, Piglosi, Madonna and other members of the Red Shoe or black eye club crew of the pope, King Charles and Podestas.

But what do we do now? They are in charge of the U.S. government at the highest level.
Close to 100,000 Mexican children do not just go missing. And they are not out hoeing crops, digging ditches, or cleaning buildings at slave wages. They are being used for sexual gratification, probably brutally. I would bet that not even near 5% of child sex abuse is ever reported to anyone.
We have a child attracted pervert in the white house and millions of citizens are okay with that.
I have said it before, if you don't believe this crime is rampant just ask your sheriff.
Maybe the date of release is done for a reason as the movie was completed in 2018. Granted there was covid and Disney may have shelved it. Hopefully this is the beginning of the beginning of shedding light on the these horrific crimes, and the players involved. My hope and belief is that there is some sort of plan in action that will have a profound public and legal push to go after these demonic pieces of shist death penalty seems too benign. No tolerance no mercy!!

Yes, Disney got the rights and shelved it. The perverts protecting other perverts.
It may have something to do with what my grandpa told to me years ago.
When some men get old they act more like old women.They would rather gossip about bullschitt for hours on end,rather than get up off their ass and do something useful.
Lack of proper testosterone levels may be the cause.lol
I always take it with a grain of salt when I see any movie advertised as 'important'. Film makers have such a reputation for 'enhancing' the truth or history that very few films can be believed. It's all what will sell. I remember when they made the movie 'Nixon'. It was heavily advertised as 'important'. G. Gordon Liddy was hired as a consultant for it but was soon fired because he raised such a stink about all the lies. He said the whole movie was fiction.

So you think that trafficking children for sex is unimportant?

Wife and I went to see and support this movie yesterday. Well done and a very good movie. Based on real events involving the main characters. Especially important to stay and watch the message after the credits from Jim Caviezel.

Wow a very eye opening movie. Riveting and very well made. You could hear a pin drop during most of the movie with the exception of a few sniffles. There are more slaves now then there way was slavery was legal. Will soon pass the drug trade in money to be made.
Mira Sorvino,daughter of Paul Sorvino,who is a talented actress in her own right,is Jim Caviesel's co-star in this most prescient film.
Academy Award and Golden Globe winner Mira Sorvino, who stars in the new film Sound of Freedom, is highlighting the connection between the industry of commercialized sex and human trafficking.
Sound of Freedom premiered in theaters on July 4, detailing the true story of how Tim Ballard, a then-federal agent, quit his job and risked his life to journey into the jungles of Colombia in an effort to save a girl, the sister of a recently-rescued seven-year-old boy, from sex slavery.
In the film, Sorvino plays Ballard’s wife. She also has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime with a focus on human trafficking since 2009.
Sorvino told the Washington Examiner that she was drawn to the film because she has “met so many child survivors and my heart burns for them.”
“They all have the capacity to rebound,” Sorvino explained, speaking of trafficking victims. “That is what I’ve learned over all these years of meeting all these tremendously brave and earnest and honest survivors is that they’re all ready to take their lives back. All they need is for us to get involved enough to help them do it. Right now only 0.4% of human trafficking victims are ever discovered and either rescued or exited themselves. We all have to do more.”
Sorvino called for an end to the commercialization of sex, as it “creates a marketplace for the sale of trafficked human beings.
“If you buy it you’re creating that marketplace where traffickers bring their human wares to sell,” she said, adding that coming-of-age and bachelor party celebrations must refrain from its use.
“The mind becomes more and more deranged,” Sorvino added. “The appetite grows upon feeding, right? Addiction craves more and more depravity — in sex addiction. We just can’t accept it anymore. We can’t let sweet children of the world be exploited in this way and hurt in this way.”
Sound of Freedom distributor Angel Studios has called for two million people to purchase tickets and attend the film in theaters to represent the two million trafficked children across the world.
“During the 1800s Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin and it became the best-selling book of the 1800s, and that book was credited by Abraham Lincoln for ending slavery,” Angel Studios Chief Content Officer Jeff Harmon told the Washington Examiner. “Our hope is that this movie can be the modern-day version of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
Angel Studio President Jordan Harmon added that they believe the film “will not only be a movement for the world to end child trafficking, but hopefully help people understand that our mission is to tell stories that are going to impact culture.”
My wife and I went with a number of friends to see this film yesterday morning. It is extremely well done, conveying its message without graphic sex and violence or sexual innuendo. It addresses a real problem and does so in a way that I hope brings home the severity of that problem. As the movie strongly states, "God's children are not for sale."
Who compiled these numbers and are they like the lies given for covid or child gun death statistics?
Given the lack of sunlight given by the media and the lack of resources devoted by .gov to combat it I think if anything the numbers are under reported.
“Thanks to fans around the country, SOUND OF FREEDOM earned the top spot as America’s number one movie on Independence Day. We’ve received numerous messages telling us theaters are either packed or sold out. This movie has now taken on a life of its own to become something more than that, a grassroots movement,” said Neal Harmon, CEO of Angel Studios. “With an A+ CinemaScore rating, we’re the top-rated movie in America, and we’re going to see word-of-mouth spread even further going into the weekend. The world needs to see SOUND OF FREEDOM, and we know that our biggest competitive advantage—our incredible fans and investors—are going to make sure that happens.”
Angel Studios' 'Sound of Freedom' passes $50 million at the US box office
"Sound of Freedom" crossed the $50 million mark at the U.S. box office on Wednesday, according to Deadline.
The independent action thriller, produced by Angel Studios and starring Jim Caviezel, has become a surprise summer hit, raking in $53.4 million against a $14.5 million budget since its premiere on July 4.
The film placed second behind Paramount's "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning — Part One," which opened on Wednesday with a box office take of $16 million.
According to Box Office Mojo, "Sound of Freedom" now ranks number 22 on the top 25 highest-grossing movies of 2023 to date.
The movie was directed by Mexican director Alejandro Gómez Monteverde, who co-wrote the screenplay with Rod Barr. "Sound of Freedom" was produced by Eduardo Verástegui, who also has a supporting role in the film.
Development on the script for "Sound of Freedom" began in 2015 and the movie completed production in 2018. 20th Century Fox picked up the distribution rights in 2018, but the movie was shelved by the Walt Disney Company when it bought the studio in 2019.
Earlier this week, a Disney spokesperson told Newsweek,"[Disney] studios had no knowledge of the film given the nature of the international acquisition pre-merger."
Angel Studios acquired the distribution rights to "Sound of Freedom" in March.
"Sound of Freedom" is currently playing in 2,852 theaters across the country and Angel Studios plans to add 300 more venues, per Deadline.
The movie currently enjoys a 100% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes with a 76% certified fresh rating among critics. It also notched an A+ from audiences on Cinemascore.
However, several media outlets have slammed "Sound of Freedom" as "QAnon-adjacent," "fit for QAnon" and a "box office triumph for QAnon" in recent days.
Rolling Stone, the U.K. publication The Guardian and website Jezebel are among the outlets that claimed the film was linked to QAnon, a right-wing community that has been accused of buying into fringe conspiracy theories.

Donald Trump To Screen ‘Sound Of Freedom’ At Bedminster Club
Donald Trump plans to host a screening of Sound of Freedom at his Bedminster golf club next week, seizing on the unexpected box office performance of the movie.
Star Jim Caviezel and producer Eduardo Verástegui will attend, while Tim Ballard, the former government agent upon which the story is based, also will be there. The film is based on Ballard’s efforts to save children from sex traffickers in Colombia.
The screening will be open to club members and supporters, according to the Trump campaign.
The Angel Studios movie has so far generated almost $50 million at the box office. Although it is non-partisan, the film has generated considerable interest on the right, as a kind of outcast project that defied the major studios. It’s been promoted on Steve Bannon’s podcast, including by Caviezel and by one of Trump’s advisers, Jason Miller. In announcing the screening, the Trump campaign singled out some of the criticism from outlets like Rolling Stone, The Guardian, CNN and The Washington Post. The Guardian labeled the movie a “QAnon adjacent thriller.”
In announcing the screening, the Trump campaign noted the former president’s steps to end human trafficking and Ballard’s support of a border wall. Verástegui was a member of Trump’s Advisory Commission on Hispanic Prosperity, and Ballard was part of an advisory panel on human trafficking.
The screening’s linkage of movie to political record is hardly novel, as members of Congress routinely host screenings on Capitol Hill to mobilize attention around issues. The White House recently hosted Eva Longoria and cast members from Flamin’ Hot for an outdoor screening, where President Joe Biden emphasized his record on DACA and pressed Congress to pass immigration reform.
Mel Gibson, who has championed Sound of Freedom, recently met Trump and Roger Stone at a recent Ultimate Fighting Championship event. A source said they discussed the movie and the actor-director said that he thought a screening was a good idea. Gibson’s rep confirmed that he ran into Trump at the event along with other personalities but said that there were no plans for the actor to be involved in a screening of the movie.
Saw it last night. Very good movie - very sobering subject.
The movie is really well done, captures the horror of the subject matter without devolving into a violent or pornographic film while doing so. I would recommend that you go see it if you are considering it, maybe even if you are not considering it...
The wife and I just saw the movie. We chose to see it as early on Saturday morning as possible because I'd rather be shot at than drive in typical weekend traffic around here.
We hadn't been in a theatre since about 2004 or 05, mostly because so few movies made these days deserve to be seen. This one was very much worth seeing for the quality of the production and entertainment value alone, but to monetarily support it was as much a pleasure as a perceived duty. There was a point in the movie where I felt a conviction like I've never felt before...it's that powerful.

Gordon Liddy was hired as a consultant for it but was soon fired because he raised such a stink about all the lies. He said the whole movie was fiction.
I went with my son mid-week, last week. Sold out. Next showing also sold out. I told him we would try again next week. Point is, a lot of people are going to see this movie.
The movie just confirmed what most people know even if they refuse to acknowledged it. It stated most child sex slaves are in the US. Care to guess which border they are smuggled across. You got it. Bidets open border. He likes to sniff them. Edk
It doesn't just confirm what you already "know." It will make you feel it in the deepest places in your soul, if you have one.
This very moment there are little kids being abused in unspeakable ways. Thousands of them. Tens of thousands, even, and maybe hundreds of thousands---even right here in the USA and certainly the world over.
Imagine your own daughter or son, at eight years of age enduring that.
I can’t remember the last time a movie had me crying.
Thirty two years ago I was visiting a friend in the city of Oaxaca, Southern Mexico. In the sidewalk cafes around the zocalo (town square) every morning there’d be numbers of homosexual American men. I was told they were there for sex vacations. I wanted to take an Uzi and mag dump on all of them.
Wife and I watched it at the local drive in last night.
I remember several years back, Glenn Beck was on a big crusade fundraising for this organization rescuing these children. As I recall, he raised a very large sum of money in the effort. Like him or hate him, he wasn’t all bad.
Saw it last night. Very good movie - very sobering subject.

My wife has some mental health issues stemming from some things that happened to her as a kid and is easily triggered. I don't want to take her if she will be upset by this. From your description maybe it would be safe but.....
Thinking I should pay forward so others can see it on my dime.
I saw this movie yesterday. It brought tears to my eyes several times.
The production quality is very good. I admire the direction that simply allows the story tell itself without any emotional heavy-handedness.
One of the great points made during the movie: the cartels have learned that you can sell a bag of cocaine only once. But a child sex slave can turn 5 tricks a day.
Very enlightening to see how children are stolen into slavery.
This will certainly make you think of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex island. How Ghislane Maxwell recruited young women to their island. And then become angry with disgust as you think of Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Naomi Campbell who used these children to satisfy their sick perversion.
If you go to the movie, stay through the credits and hear the message from Jim Cavaiezel. He makes a plea for this movie to become the modern day equivalent to Uncle Tom’s Cabin and create a public campaign to end the $150-billion-annually sex trafficking industry.
You can contribute to a fund to buy tickets for other people to see the movie for free:
Sound of Freedom is no flash in the pan. In its second weekend, the Angel Studios’ phenomenon grossed another $24.7 million, which is an astonishing 26 percent increase over its debut weekend. Currently, THE MOVIE DISNEY DUMPED sits at $83.2 million.
Never forget that the Disney Grooming Syndicate owned Sound of Freedom and then tried to disappear it. Because Jim Caviezel doesn’t age, it’s hard to tell, but Sound of Freedom wrapped in 2018, more than five years ago. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, Disney acquired Sound of Freedom, a movie that is about to become one of the most profitable independent movies of all time.
Obviously, a demonic company like Disney, a company dedicated to grooming kids by sexualizing children’s content with homosexuality, transsexuals, drag queens, and transvestites, does not want anything to do with a movie that depicts the sex trafficking of children as a bad thing. Disney is determined to normalize sex with children, not reinforce the idea that a child’s innocence must be protected. So Disney shelved Sound of Freedom and sat on it. It took five years for the producers to get it back.
Well, because the arc of history bends toward justice, the fetishists at Disney are about to lose a couple hundred million dollars on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Cucking Indiana Jones with a Sexless Co-Star No One Finds Appealing. At the same time, Sound of Freedom has become a money-printing machine.
verything after about $35 million is pure profit for Sound of Money — er, I mean Sound of Freedom. Already, the people behind this blockbuster have split about $50 million with theaters. That’s $25 million clear and counting.
With its theatrical run far from over, Sound of Freedom’s domestic haul has already topped all but 24 of last year’s biggest-grossing films, including Scream (2022), Morbius, the Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Woman King, Death on the Nile, etc.
Elsewhere at this weekend’s box office, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One came in below its $90 to $100 million projection with an $80 million haul over an extended five-day opening. If you do not adjust for inflation, that’s a franchise record. Twenty-three years ago, Mission: Impossible II opened to $79 million. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $140 million today.
The good news for Dead Reckoning is the overseas box office. After just five days, by Monday, it should have a worldwide haul of around $240 million. For context, that $240 million nearly ties the worldwide gross of Dial of Kathleen Kennedy’s Latest Franchise-Killing Dud, after 16 days and two full weekends of release.
Saw this today with the GF. Of course she cried, told her this shiet has been going on for YEARS but she's never heard about it. Hopefully it will open a bunch of eyes. Also told her the people going to see it are the only people WGAF and most just want to live in their world and don't want to think about this crap.
It's a real shame, (most) people can't think beyond their own 50 miles and pay attention to what's going on in the world or our government.
Inside Trump’s ‘Sound of Freedom’ Screening with Jim Caviezel and Tim Ballard — ‘A Great Movie’ and ‘Incredible Inspiration’
The blockbuster film Sound of Freedom has gained an enthusiastic new fan — former President Donald Trump, who praised the anti-child trafficking drama as a “great movie” and “an incredible inspiration” during a special screening Wednesday evening at his club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
