It villifies nothing. It’s statistics are factually incorrect, it sends the wrong message about how child trafficking actually occurs, actively promotes Qanon conspiracy theories like adrenochrome (which have zero factual basis) and the guy staring in it is a Qanon loon.
“from the movie’s opening montage, which shows surveillance footage of children being snatched by strangers off the streets, Sound of Freedom offers a “false perception” of how the majority of child trafficking actually takes place, according to Albright.”

Almost every time, kids know their traffickers. This movie does nothing but massively discredit actual trafficking efforts.
I literally listened to this part of a conversation in early 2021:
A: I try to tell my brother, but he doesn’t listen. He said he just got home from a funeral for a friend who died from COVID and didn’t want to talk about it. I told him, your friend died with COVID, not from COVID.
It soured my mood so much that I couldn’t enjoy the fun thing I was on my way to.
To be fair, though nutbag Caviezel talks about adrenochrome, the film omits that. I listened to two different podcasts review it (one of which is QAnon Anonymous, and anti-conspiracy show). But everything else you said is correct.
Good link. I hadn’t seen that article. Skimmed it and got a better sense of what real anti-trafficking folks think of it.
Yeah 'he was a FoUNdeR" lol do a little research the guy donated $501 to get his name in the credits along with nearly 7000 other people and he’s not convicted of child trafficking he’s convicted of accessory to child kidnapping which if you care to read the details about the case is such a non issue when compared to child trafficking. He broke the law, lock him up let him serve his time, the fact that anyone is using some fucking nobody that donated $500 and calling him a founder to discredit the real issue of child trafficking is astonishing and disgusting.
Think about what the “journalist/reporter” went through to obtain this information, they cross checked legal cases with all nearly 7k donation of $500 and up (so they could run the headline that he/she was a founder of the movie) and found a case with child kidnapping and ran with it and you bozos are eating it up. How about team red or team blue we fucking agree child trafficking is bad and that we should castrate and kill the people trafficking them and the pedophiles buying them?
The issue isn’t with political partisanship. I think both sides all agree child trafficking is abhorrent, and you’d be hard pressed to find anybody on either side claiming otherwise.
The problem is QAnon believers are batshit delusional and politically biased. They aren’t making an educational public awareness movie, they’re making propaganda based on misinformed beliefs.
I have a simpler theory. He got arrested and journalists checked his socials when trying to write a story. He talked about this very subject online. Hey, look! No sinister motives needed1
Your version has journalists cross checking a list, trying their very best to discredit people involved in exposing the truth. That’s a sign that you’re not coming at this with clear thinking.
Picture this. A building is on fire. Standing outside of it is a person yelling loudly “I didn’t start this fire!”. Nobody is asking him if he started the fire. But he just keeps standing there, yelling at nobody in particular. He doesn’t seek cover or anything. He just tells any person he sees that the fire isn’t his fault.
And you don’t believe this is odd behavior?
Thats a complete failure to interpret or mischaracterization of my entire point about the smear campaign against the movie. In your fire analogy a better characterization would be:
A building is on fire. Standing outside of it is a person yelling loudly “This building is on fire!”. Nobody is asking him what started the fire or why he is worried about the fire since buildings catch on fire multiple times a year. But he just keeps standing there yelling at anyone that will listen. Then he is approached by members of the crowd that has gathered who all berate him for being so loud and abnoxious and explain to him that house fires happen all the time and to let the authorities handle it, that it’s not really an issue to be concerned with. Then another member of the crowd says, “Hey! I know someone that donated to this building fund when it was being built, and he was accessory to arson! So shut up about this building being on fire, it was only built by people that approve of arson!”
You don’t believe this is odd behavior?
I get you, it’s just that the guy who is yelling about the fire was also the guy in front of the pizza joint last week yelling about lizard people. And the week before that he was in front of the library rambling about JFK and the CIA.
Listen no one wants the building to be on fire. Let’s start a bucket brigade, join the volunteer fire fighters. I just am weary of being associated with this crazy dude.
