Go see "Sound of Freedom"!

a non-review of a must-see film

I’ve written more than my share of legit movie reviews in my life. This will not be one of them.

I just got home from the theater and right now, I can’t really tell you if Sound of Freedom is or isn’t a well-crafted film. That’s not why I rushed to see it anyway. For what it’s worth, the big crowd in the NYC theater I attended seemed happy — the movie got TWO standing ovations.

Sound of Freedom is a broadside in a spiritual war. It’s a story Hollywood predictably tried to squash and, as Jim Caviezel states in a closing message, the most important people are the storytellers. 

I’ve researched and written about issues like pornography, prostitution, and trafficking a lot in my life. This subject matter was hardly new to me. But again, that is hardly the point.

Despite my familiarity with the realities portrayed, Sound of Freedom still had me physically trembling at times in the theater and, as I type this (about 90 minutes after the film ended), I still find myself tearing up.

I’m proud of that reaction because I never want to get jaded about the urgent need to protect children.

In fact, a big part of the reason I work so hard on my Substack and podcast is to gain the resources and audience to become a major catalyst for real-world change.

Sound of Freedom just ramped up my ambition a few thousand notches.

So, don’t ask me about the script continuity or cinematography. Don’t ask me if felt too long or too slow. Instead, ask yourself how soon you’ll support this movie and what else you could be doing to bring down the enemy.

Spread the word and get involved. As a character in the film declares, “When God tells you what to do, you don't hesitate.”
