On the 9th of September, 2023 I went to see Sound Of Freedom at Cineworld Birmingham, Broad Street. I got to see this free thanks to the generosity of its distributor Angel Studios and their How You Can Help page. Click here to purchase tickets to give away yourself, buy tickets for yourself or claim a free ticket (like I did) from the kind people who purchased said tickets themselves to give away.
This movie is shocking and disturbing to watch as its content is about paedophilia and child sex trafficking, but not, thankfully, in a graphic way. It doesn’t need to do that. The truth sells itself here. It isn’t like most films these days, woke, it simply tells a story and does it well. A rarity these days. It is thought-provoking and leaves you feeling happy and sad at the same time. You feel happy for Tim Ballard, excellently played by Jim Caviezel, when he succeeds at what he is doing but then you feel sad for the children and the terrible things they go through. Those terrible things happen far too often and in staggering numbers.
Some people left the cinema when the credits started rolling and missed an important message by Caviezel at the end of the film. It was just as moving as the film was and the audience clapped and so did I.
This is a well-produced film with very good cinematography, very good acting, very good editing and very good music that captures the mood of the film so well.
I recommend anyone with children to watch this film and if their kids go to big school, they watch it too when it comes out on DVD (if it is allowed to that is), you won’t be sorry you did.
Below is information about the film’s distributor, Angel Studios.

Angel’s North Star
Here is a message from Neal Harmon, Co-Founder and C.E.O. of Angel Studios regarding Angel’s North Star.
“We’re building a home for stories that amplify light (or, as we call it, our North Star).
How do we define light? True, honest, noble, just, authentic, lovely, admirable, and excellent.
Just as a compass, the stars and magnetic North guided sailors through dark waters centuries ago, our North Star for filmmaking helps us navigate dark times and focus on light in our day.
Darkness can seem pervasive. Last year introduced fires all over Australia, pandemic, economic turmoil, locusts infestations, rising food prices, protests and riots, earthquakes, and financial warfare (look up Hedge Funds and GameStop). Sometimes it feels as if the tumultuous events are becoming more frequent.
There’s a reason the film business was one of the few industries that grew during the Great Depression. Hope is a fundamental human need and in yesteryear, the filmmakers mastered storytelling to meet that need.
Unfortunately, most shows offered these days add to the cynicism, division, and darkness so pervasive in society.
Fortunately, darkness and light, hope and despair, cannot exist in the same place at the same time. And we believe if we build a home for creators and communities to connect, specifically those who align with our North Star, Angel Studios will become known for fulfilling our universal human need for hope and light. Our time feels short. Choosing, funding, creating, and spreading stories that matter has never felt more urgent.
Whether as a customer, investor or team member thank you for joining us.
