Grossing more than current competitors on one of the biggest weekends of the summer, indie movie “The Sound of Freedom” starring Catholic favorite Jim Caviezel, has drawn critics in Hollywood. What else is new in the world capital of vanity, envy, pride, and every other cardinal sin?
After abortion, the number one crime against baby humans, the greatest evil afflicting the young is illegal trafficking, and sexual and labor slavery.
In defense of the film, however, one industry insider, the singer Jewel, is chanting a different note, so to speak. Fox News reported that she is practically raving with praise about the film, set to gross $40 million in receipts, dwarfing current Hollywood offerings. She urged fans to see the biopic about Tim Ballard, a former DHS agent who quit his job to rescue children from a sex trafficking operation.
She called it “little indie movie that could” and celebrated it for getting the word out about the child sex trade, which she claimed has more slaves in it currently than the trans-Atlantic slave trade. She added that “Sound of Freedom” is “kicking butt” in the box office, and, in a Twitter caption, blasted the media for “trying to politicize this movie.”
Jewel’s endorsement came less than a week after Sound of Freedom premiered in U.S. theaters, where it beat out “Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny” in movie ticket sales on July 4. The “You Were Meant For Me” singer jumped on social media to urge more people to go see the popular film.
In response to Twitter owner Elon Musk recommending the film be put on his social media platform, she stated, “You guys, I just saw the “Sound of Freedom””. You have to see it. I’m so verklempt (overcome with emotion). Some friends of mine made this movie and it’s been years of it being in production. It’s the most inspiring film,” she declared.
