'Sound of Freedom'

THE movie "Sound of Freedom" is based on a true story about former CIA agent Tim Ballard, who quit his job to investigate human trafficking of children for sexual abuse both online and in the real world in the United States, has beaten some of the top-grossing movies released this year. The movie, made by Angel Studios CEO Neal Harmon, on a small budget of $14 million, has already grossed $155 million. It is an adventure crime thriller that tells of the kidnapping and trafficking to Colombia of very young girls and boys from Honduras. There, they are sold to pedophiles and, in particular, to a jungle-based drug gang leader.

Ballard, portrayed by Jim Caviezel, asks his CIA boss for the assignment and support to rescue some of the children and is refused. He resigns and goes on a one-man mission to find and save the children he sees abused online and arrests the traffickers. With private funding, he continues his operation. With contacts in Colombia, he sets up an entrapment location on a small island, offering huge payments to child traffickers if they bring 50 children for pedophiles at a big child sex party. The traffickers go for it and are arrested by Colombian police. We don't know if they were actually convicted.
