The depths of human sin are never more evident than in the horrors of human trafficking. Each year, tens of thousands of children are trapped in the web of sex slavery and trafficking, making it a $150 billion dollar industry worldwide. Shedding light on this issue is actor Jim Caviezel’s new film, “The Sound of Freedom,” set to release on July 4th, symbolizing America’s independence. The movie exposes the brutal fight to save victims of child trafficking.
In an interview with Fox’s Lighthouse Faith podcast, Caviezel mentioned that the film personally resonated with him as he thought about his own children. It serves as a reminder that freedom is a hard-earned victory, witnessed through America’s Revolutionary War and the later Civil War that emancipated millions of enslaved African Americans.
“The Sound of Freedom” follows the story of Tim Ballard, the founder of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R. Rescue), portrayed by Caviezel himself. Ballard quits his job with Homeland Security to embark on a mission to rescue missing children in Honduras, forming his own team of child rescuers.
Sadly, the film highlights that the fight against exploitation and injustice is far from over. Caviezel plays the role of federal agent Tim Ballard, who risks everything to save children from human traffickers. The movie combines thrilling action with heartfelt emotions.
Caviezel, a devout Christian best known for his portrayal of Jesus in Mel Gibson’s “Passion of the Christ,” is committed to exposing the spiritual evil that people may unknowingly enable by doing nothing. He emphasizes the role of individuals in combatting this issue.
Last year alone, 85,000 children went missing. Despite a whistleblower’s testimony to Homeland Security about human trafficking, the media remained silent, indicating a deliberate attempt to suppress the story. Caviezel reveals that the United States is the largest consumer of child trafficking and pornography globally, which he finds unacceptable.
His collaboration with Tim Ballard helped him gain insight into the world of agents fighting traffickers. Caviezel highlights the staggering number of children, 300,000 under the age of 18, lured into the sex trafficking industry in the United States. He views the film as a threat due to its exposure of this troubling reality.
The movie delves into a game-changing encounter Ballard had with a young boy. After rescuing the boy from the clutches of a notorious pedophile trafficker, the child pleads with Ballard to save his sister. This pivotal moment propels the narrative and reveals the vast extent of the evil in which countless children are entangled.
For Caviezel, it is crucial for the movies he works on to have a redemptive quality. He acknowledges the challenges of finding such projects in an industry that often produces content that goes against these values. Nevertheless, he remains dedicated to using his acting career to challenge audiences.
As Caviezel once stated, he doesn’t turn to the devil to portray evil characters but looks to God for guidance. His performance in “The Sound of Freedom” aims to shed light on the unspoken atrocities suffered by innocent children, urging society to confront this issue head-on.
In addition, Caviezel will join forces with Mel Gibson for a movie about the resurrection of Jesus, ensuring that his acting choices always incorporate a sense of redemption.
By tackling this critical issue in “The Sound of Freedom,” Caviezel aims to make a lasting impact and inspire change.
