During a pre-screening reception, Speaker McCarthy enquired from Jim Caviezel what he’d like the audience to walk away with after watching the amazing anti-child trafficking movie, to which the actor replied, “When God instructs you to act, you don’t hesitate.”
Tim Ballard, a former Homeland Security agent who left his government job to devote himself fully to rescuing children from the illicit sex trafficking rings, gave his insight into why the independent film has emerged as an unexpected box-office hit, grossing over $127 million as of Tuesday.
“The audience is weary of mere entertainment,” Ballard noted. “They desire a sense of purpose from what they view and watch.”
“I think God has touched a multitude of hearts and stirred them awake, and they have employed this incredibly impacting movie to achieve that,” he further explained.
As Sound of Freedom grows increasingly successful, it has become the victim of vicious attacks from mainstream news outlets, which initially boycotted the film and then started wrongfully labeling it a “QAnon” conspiracy.
As previously reported, former President Donald Trump, who hosted a unique screening of Sound of Freedom last week in his club in Bedminster, New Jersey, called for the execution of human traffickers, promising to “defend the dignity of human life” when he returns to the White House.
