“Sound of Freedom,” an anti-child sex trafficking film, continues to soar at the box office, despite heinous media attempts to take it down.
The independent movie clinched a third-weekend performance stronger than its first last week, an impressive feat, especially considering heavy competition from “Barbenheimer.” Altogether, “Sound of Freedom” has raked in $124 million on a less than $15 million budget and in a summer market inundated with big-budget, franchise blockbusters.
While some may see this as an important milestone in raising awareness about the horrors of child sex trafficking, the media isn’t so pleased, mocking the film and its audiences contemptuously.
“I was at the movies with people who were there to see their worst fears confirmed,” wrote Rolling Stones in a review titled “‘‘Sound Of Freedom’ Is a Superhero Movie for Dads With Brainworms.”
“To know thousands of adults will absorb Sound of Freedom, this vigilante fever dream, and come away thinking themselves better informed on a hidden civilizational crisis… well, it’s profoundly depressing. Worse still, they’ll want to spread the word.”
The Guardian called the film’s legions of fans an “unsavory network of astroturfed boosterism among the far-right fringe, a constellation of paranoids now attempting to spin a cause célèbre out of a movie with vaguely simpatico leanings.”

Shockingly, even as the media works double time to smear “Freedom,” reports surfaced that the Biden administration’s Department of Justice quietly removed information about sex trafficking from its website earlier this year.
According to the New York Post, “Approximately two-thirds of the text on the [DOJ’s anti-child sex trafficking] webpage was cut over recent weeks, including sections on “International Sex Trafficking of Minors,” “Domestic Sex Trafficking of Minors” and “Child Victims of Prostitution.” The changes appear to have been before “Sound of Freedom’s” early-July launch.
“[T]he recent changes to the Department’s website, particularly the removal of specific sections related to child sex trafficking, have raised valid concerns,” said Victor Marx, the head of an anti-trafficking ministry. “The message we’re sending to our children and the criminals, and the women at large… is [that] the administration doesn’t care.”
This incident perfectly highlights the ongoing clash between the American people, who, in this case, are showing up en masse to protest sex trafficking, and the media/government alliance, which not only downplays the horrors of trafficking but laughs at anyone who takes it seriously. Middle America and America’s elites could not be more diametrically opposed on this issue, and the latter has no problem with vaunting its disdain for the former.
