Article – Two Million Children

On July 4th the long-awaited film “Sound of Freedom” will be released. It is based on the true story of a U.S. Homeland Security agent who quit his job in order to dedicate himself to rescuing children from sex traffickers. I have not seen the movie or been able to find out specifics about any objectionable content. It is rated PG-13.

Obviously, the subject matter is very sensitive, serious and painful to think about. The movie stars Jim Caviezel and is being released by Angel Studios, the same company that produces “The Chosen” series. The producer is Eduardo Verástegui, who is a devout Catholic. They are trying to pre-sell two million tickets prior to July 3rd to represent the estimated two million children who are trafficked each year.

The film will be shown in local theaters and tickets can be purchased at angel.com. You can also purchase tickets for others so that they can see the movie for free.

We pray that this film will help to raise awareness of this great evil of our time and bring it to an end. God bless you.
