The obstacles that were overcome just to get this film made were pretty steep. Most Hollywood Studios did not want to touch this project - for obvious reasons. Hollywood is deeply into this depravity.
God bless Jim Caviezel for working so hard for years to make this happen. There are powerful forces that don't want this exposed. I haven't been in a theater in years but plan on going for the opening of this film, despite how difficult it may be to watch.

Quote: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.
Quote:A little unknown fact is that Trump even appointed Ballard in 2019 to the White House Public-Private Partnership Advisory Council to End Human Trafficking.

Child trafficking (especially at the southern border) is an epidemic and one of the most important issues facing our country right now... would you agree?

Or is it not a big deal to you?
Give me a break. No one is taking child trafficking flippantly.
If the people behind this movie took child trafficking seriously, surely that QR code at the end of the movie leads people to donate to reputable agencies fighting child trafficking right? Oh wait no, it asks you to buy more tickets and then signs you up for the $50/month streaming service.

I looked and don't see a $50 monthly charge for a streaming service. You'll have to point it out to me.
The Angel Studios app is free to download. Of course, the infrastructure to support the many aspects of a movie studio and streaming service is not free. It costs real money every day.
To allow people to stream shows via their app they do rely on people to "pay it forward". It's not a requirement, but it helps.
Quote:What is Pay it Forward?
Angel Studios’ shows are free for viewers around the world, and we intend to keep it that way. But it takes millions of dollars to produce high-quality content. That’s where you come in. Here are a few reasons why you play a critical role.
Create Future Episodes and Seasons
Every contribution helps directors, writers, animators, and so many other creators do what they do best without charging exorbitant theater prices or monthly fees.
Make Content Free to Watch
Not only does Pay it Forward benefit you, but it allows you to amplify light around the globe. You can know that your dollars are helping people enjoy wholesome, entertaining content.
Gain Special Perks and Rewards
You can earn perks based on your level of contribution. Perks are decided by the individual creators. This could be a set visit, your name in the credits, or something special from your favorite show!
It just so happens that I "pay it forward" each month in the name of the show called The Chosen. My measly $15.00 monthly "pay it forward" donation provides the following:

Angel Studios also allows people to invest in future projects. They share videos discussing the concept and open a crowd-funding model which grants you actual ownership shares of the project.

You are trying to explain to someone who has no desire to understand.

Let's see... they actually made the movie and they tried to buy the rights back from Disney after they bought FOX. It took 5 years to get ownership back from Disney.
Oh, and that one guy, uh, Tim Ballard, actually rescued children from child sex traffickers.
I'm thinking all of that means the people behind this movie actually do take child trafficking seriously.

I'm Afraid Our Halls of Government Are Much More Like Another Movie Which is More Disturbing Than Most Could Enjoy: Eyes Wide Shut.
