Today, I am turning my blog over to Mike Ford, founder and managing editor of the American Free News Network https://afnn.us/ to which I am a contributor. Mike is also a former U.S. Army Colonel and US Military Academy graduate (class of 1980). In today’s post, Mike explains why the left and the mainstream media hate the movie Sound of Freedom: a true story about children who are trafficked as sex slaves–thousands of whom are being brought illegally across our southern border.
Sound of Freedom-I Know Why the Left Hates This Movie
by Mike Ford
As I write this, I have just walked back in the door to my house after seeing the Angel Studios (The Chosen series) production of, “Sound of Freedom.” I wanted to get these thoughts down before the impact of this fine movie fades. The film is based on a true story involving childhood sex trafficking. Jim Caviezel (Passion of the Christ & Person of Interest) plays the lead as Homeland Security Special Agent Tim Ballard, who investigates cases of child pornography. Bottom line, I can see why the left is doing its best to marginalize this film—but more on that further down.
Sound of Freedom is a powerful story about the rescue of hundreds of children who have been sold into sex slavery. Unlike most Hollywood productions that insist on lurid sexual scenes, wanton violence, and gratuitous profanity that would make a Special Forces Demo Sergeant blush, Angel Studios has put together an extremely compelling film without the need for all of that. Also, unlike Hollywood, the film clearly comes down on the side of not sexualizing children.
One wonderful aspect of the film, the screenwriters were able to communicate horrific acts to take place on innocent children at the hands of adults, with just a little imagination in their camera work. There was zero nudity and almost no violence. If there was any profanity, I don’t recall it.
The writers used inference to bring about audience understanding without being graphic. In one example, they cut from the interior scene showing a man and a little girl fully clothed to an outside view showing the adult drawing the curtains. The ugly, sordid detail is left to the viewers’ imagination.
As I said, the film is very well done—very compelling. There were a few times during the movie that I had some difficulty keeping it together. Bear in mind nothing graphic was shown on the screen, but the audience knew. The audience knew what exactly was going on. You could hear a pin drop in that theater for most of the film—and more than a few sniffles. I strongly urge you to see it. Here is the trailer:

As the title indicates, I know why the left hates this movie. I know why Disney refused to distribute this film when it acquired it as part of its purchase of 20th Century Fox. Word has it that it took Angel Studios a few years to reacquire the rights from Disney so they could distribute it. It’s easy to see why.
For the past several decades, the left has sought to bring deviant and disordered behavior into the mainstream of American life. The Democrat party in the U.S. has bought into the transgender movement lock, stock, and barrel. Even our military, whose stated purpose is to exert directed and controlled violence (or credibly threaten to do so) in order to advance lawful command authority objectives, has gone all in on the transgender movement.
President Biden appointed Rachel Levine, a biological male in a skirt, to be the first transgender serving as a 4-Star Admiral in the Commissioned Corps of the United States. The United States Military Academy at West Point is celebrating “Pride Month,” possibly as a respite from the arduous tasks of removing statues of genuine American military heroes.
What’s next? For the left? Simple. They want to normalize sex between adults and children not legally capable of consent. They hide behind “studies” and “research,” claiming that there is no adverse effect on children. The leftist cabal does its best to keep it hidden from the public.
Of note, Jeffrey Epstein’s client list has yet to be leaked, yet the public is aware of every charge contemplated against any Trump voter within 20 nautical miles of Washington, D.C, on January 6th, 2021. Epstein, who ran regular flights to a private island so that his cronies could entertain themselves with underage boys and girls, did not kill himself while awaiting trial.
Part of the film turns that around. The good guys (minor spoiler) set up an operation on an island in order to fool the bad guys into bringing dozens of child sex slaves there, ostensibly to feed the appetites of multi-millionaires. You’ll have to see the movie for the rest.
That’s why Sound of Freedom is so dangerous to the left and its agenda. Reading about child trafficking/child sexual slavery in print and as part of rich peoples’ peccadilloes just doesn’t have the impact of the big screen. Angel Studios was able to tell this story in a manner difficult to ignore. Their presentation is much more powerful than an obscure article that shows up on the third page of a Google search. Sound of Freedom shows this evil for what it is. Most importantly, it helps us understand some other things.
Why is the above important? Simple. Today’s Democrat Party is not the one of your Grandfathers. They and their media and corporate enablers (like Disney) are after your children. Your personal friends, who have voted Democrat forever, might not realize this. They cannot see that the core of the Democrat party, the ones calling the shots, want to normalize deviant and disordered behavior. These people want access to your kids so they can program them at a young age.
They are actively trying to assume the parental role in raising them. In the end, as the producers at Angel Studios show, these people are merely interested in turning children into chattel to serve their own sexual fantasies. When these deviants are done with them, the children are discarded. Sound of Freedom takes a peek behind that sordid curtain.
Go see this movie. Tell all your friends.
