(Bonus Ep) Sound of Freedom Deep Dive with Cynane Shay

TW: Sex trafficking

Sound of freedom hit theaters July 4th and it is an independent action film directed by Alejandro Monteverde.
The story is about Tim Ballard. He is a former Department of Homeland Security agent and the founder and former CEO of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) an anti-sex trafficking organization.
Sound of freedom tells Tim Ballard's story of his Operation Triple Take, a joint action between OUR and the Colombian government that reportedly rescued 123 trafficked people—55 of whom were children. So why are we talking about this? Sounds like a good story, right?
Well Ballard is not all he's cracked up to be. Ballard and OUR aren’t actually central to the international fight against human trafficking. The majority of the [anti-trafficking] field views them as fringe. They’re on the outs of this genre. They like to sell sensationalism…and they fundraise off it. Because Christians love that shit.

Cynane and I discuss the new Sound of Freedom movie, Qanon, Jim Caviezel, Tim Ballard, OUR organization, sex trafficking, and much more.
