An uncomfortable watch, Sound of Freedom is based on the life of paedophile hunter and former CIA and Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard and details the realities of child sex trafficking in and around the US. Since its release, the film has become a flashpoint for cultural quarrels.
Sound of Freedom opens with Roberto, a Honduran father to Miguel and Rocio, being approached by a former beauty queen, who tells him his children may have what it takes to make it in the entertainment industry. Buoyed by this news, the proud and aspiring Roberto takes his children to what he is told is an audition and is asked to return a few hours later. When he does, the room is empty – his children and their captors are gone.
