'The Sound of Freedom' Rings Through Theaters

The sound of Freedom is an unlikely box office hit that has caused controversy in the U.S. It has found favor with moviegoers over 50 looking for something other than your typical summer movie bombast and spectacle aimed at teens and 20-somethings.The focus of the story centers on Tim Ballard, portrayed by Jim Caviezel at the age of 54, known for his role as Jesus in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."

Ballard made the bold decision to resign from his position at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to establish Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), an organization dedicated to combatting child sex trafficking.

The film vividly portrays his daring mission to rescue children from Colombian traffickers.The motto of Tim Ballard, the unwavering real-life crimefighter portrayed by Jim Caviezel in the fact-based drama "Sound of Freedom," declares, 'God's children are not commodities for sale.

Ballard's relentless crusade against the harrowing sexual enslavement of children, a distressingly pervasive form of depravity, unfolds as a valuable and ultimately uplifting narrative. However, this emotional triumph comes at a considerable cost.
