PROVO, Utah — Those behind the Sound of Freedom film said they know the topic of child trafficking is a difficult one, so their goal was to weave light throughout the film in order to leave audiences with hope.
Sound of Freedom, which is releasing in theaters on July 4, details the true story of how Tim Ballard, a then-federal agent, quits his job and risks his life to journey into the jungles of Colombia in an effort to save a girl, the sister of a recently rescued 7-year-old boy, from sex slavery.“The greatest challenge was the subject matter. It’s very dark to kind of be able to digest it,” writer and director Alejandro Monteverde told the Washington Examiner.
Ballard said he is so grateful that the film is reaching the big screen so others can experience how important efforts to end child trafficking are. “The dream of being able to use my eyes as a window into these operations is coming true,” Ballard shared. “People get to see what I saw and I experienced, and I hope that turns into a great light that can be the great disinfectant to this dark, dark plague of child sex slavery.”
The film also features Jim Caviezel from The Passion of the Christ, Academy Award-winner Mira Sorvino from Mighty Aphrodite, and Bill Camp from 12 Years a Slave. The film is produced by Eduardo Verastegui.
