“Sound of Freedom,” directed and written by Alejandro Monteverde, features Jim Caviezel in the role of real-life hero Tim Ballard. The movie revolves around Ballard’s journey from working as an agent for the Department of Homeland Security to launching his own mission to combat child traffickers. Ballard founded the anti-trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad. The film also stars Mira Sorvino, Bill Camp, José Zúñiga, and Eduardo Verástegui, who is also a producer.
Angel Studios has taken a unique approach to distribution by offering a “pay it forward” option, allowing consumers to donate tickets. The studio’s decision to release the movie directly in theaters overseas in Latin American countries and the U.K./Ireland, and partner with local distributors in other markets, is aimed at maximizing its reach and impact.

Although “Sound of Freedom” has been discussed on QAnon message boards, Angel Studios emphasizes that it is not a QAnon movie. It’s important to mention that the lead actor, Jim Caviezel, spoke at a QAnon convention in Las Vegas in late 2021 and referenced their slogan. Despite this connection, the film stays committed to its primary goal of raising awareness about child trafficking and spreading a message of hope and courage globally.
