As “Sound of Freedom” continues to push conversations of child sex trafficking further into the American zeitgeist, insiders and experts say President Joe Biden’s border policies are helping facilitate the burgeoning child sex trafficking industry.
Released July 4, “Sound of Freedom” grossed $14 million, becoming the number one film in America.
According to a July 28 press release, national box office sales for “Sound of Freedom” surged past $130 million. The film will soon be released internationally.
The movie is based on the true story of Tim Ballard, a federal agent who rescued a young boy from child traffickers and sets off on a dangerous mission to save the boy’s sister, who is still being held captive.
While some have attacked the film’s credibility, dismissing the story as being based on QAnon “adrenochrome conspiracy” theories that rely on “tired Hollywood tropes,” others are comparing the story to what happened on the island owned by billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Many are wondering why none of the high-profile customers of Mr. Epstein have been arrested. Controversy regarding his alleged prison cell suicide is still the topic of news headlines and social media chatter.
As reported by child welfare nonprofit Save the Children, “Child trafficking affects every country in the world.” Nearly 30 percent of all human trafficking victims worldwide are children, and most are girls. Many victims are trafficked by someone they know, such as a family member.
Despite the myth that trafficking occurs primarily in developing countries, Save the Children alleges that “the United States is one of the most active sex trafficking countries in the world.”
‘They Are Trying to Make a Difference’
As a child, Victor Marx was severely abused, tortured, then left in a commercial cooler to die. By the time he graduated high school, his life was consumed with drugs, fights, and theft. He credits the discipline of the military and his faith in God for his survival. Today, through his organization, All Things Possible, Mr. Marx spends his time hunting sexual predators and rescuing women and children who are being held captive by traffickers and abusers.
