The Sound of Freedom

 My family had not been to a movie theater in months. There were no movies we wanted to see. I have deep convictions about what I will watch. Most of the movies released violate those convictions in one way or another. When Turner and I returned from camp late on July 3, Brenda mentioned a movie she wanted to see called The Sound of Freedom. I never heard of it. 

When she checked the local theater, all showings were sold out. She discovered the same thing in other theaters. Finally, she found some available tickets in Ft. Worth for yesterday afternoon. I went not knowing anything about the movie. I was not prepared for what I saw. Neither was Brenda or Turner. The movie elicited provocation in me. It was the kind of movie where I did not want to talk afterward. I needed time to process what I saw. It felt the same way after watching The Passion of Christ and Jesus Revolution.

The Sound of Freedom moved me. I sit here trying to find the words to describe the way the movie moved me. I'm fumbling for words. Emotions like anger, sorrow, helplessness, and frustration overwhelmed me. I felt nauseated. I sat in disbelief as the drama unfolded. The movie is a true story. 

A challenge was issued at the end of the movie to recommend it to others. Brenda and I have been a big proppant of recommending films with a positive message. I wondered if I could recommend this film to others. It was so disturbing. It dealt with the topic of sex trafficking. I would not say the movie is a Christian movie. There was mild profanity used in it. The topic was uncomfortable. Brenda sat in tears through the whole movie. I grew so sickened by the content matter I stopped eating popcorn. It no longer felt like entertainment. The only word I can come up with is I felt disturbed. Shaken from my complacency. The movie is a jolting wake up call to the church about a real-life problem I have preached about over the past few years. 

I prayed silently on the way home, "God, now what? What am I supposed to do with the content of that movie? I feel helpless to do anything. You said to know to do something and not to do it is sin. I don't know how to help or where to begin." That is the truth. I don't know what to do or where to turn next other than to pray. It feels like I should do more than to pray. 

The Sound of Freedom is not a movie most of you will want to see. It is a movie you need to see. You also need to be disturbed. You need to be confronted with one of the greatest evils in our time. You also need to be provoked and nauseated as you see what happens to children all over the world. 

I have long told how former Presidents Bill Clinton, Barach Obama, and Joe Biden have all been accused of pedophilia. Hillary Clinton is also linked to such wickedness. Hollywood A listers have been accused of the same things. So have pop stars. Some of the wealthiest people in the world have been linked to sex trafficking of children. Ever heard of Jeffery Epstein's Island and the list of frequent visitors. People you hold in high regard or depraved sex fiends. High ranking politicians live this secret life of wickedness in the shadows. They dress up the outside in front of the cameras and sexually torture children in the dark. Most people are ignorant of this fact. You would not believe some of the names involved in this behavior I have discovered over the years. People you trusted. People you supported by watching their movies and buying their music. We were all duped. 

The film's star said the movie The Sound of Freedom was actually completed five years ago but is just now being released. I can only imagine how many fought to keep that movie from ever being seen. It does not have the backing of a big Hollywood studio. Why would they produce a movie so many are guilty of doing themselves. They do not want their dark secrets brought into the light. They love the dark because their deeds are evil. They treat children like they are an object for gratification to be bought and sold. GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NOT FOR SALE. So the only advertising for this money is word of mouth. It is not much. It is all I can do at this point. To challenge you to go see this movie for yourself. YOU WILL BE DISTURBED. 

This is a blight on our society like abortion. How can a nation tolerate such evil perpetrated on our most vulnerable. Wicked men and women abusing the very ones Jesus said not to hinder them from coming to Him. 

If you have the guts to go see this movie, I challenge you to do so with your eyes wide open. Don't go not knowing anything about it like I did. Go prepared to be disturbed. Force yourself to see what millions of children suffer around the world. Be a part of bringing this secret out of the shadows and into the light. Then ask God what He wants you do to with the information you learn.
