I went to see it with 7 Sane Franciscans last night and I have exactly the same message as this non-review...

No but seriously, I made it my mission to find 'em, round them all up, all the better to fight the insanity together... that's been my focus of the last few years: https://sanefrancisco.substack.com/p/greetings-from-sane-francisco

Awesome! As a lifetime New Yorker, I can sadly relate.

Too funny … reminds me, there was a bumper sticker many years ago….”I’d rather be inSane Diego”

Thanks so much, Mickey, very measured, heartfelt, and thoughtful and, nice that it is not the quippy theater review.

~~~What was deep grief to me throughout, was thinking of the devastating person to child events that happened in those rooms, the conversations and manipulation of candy, treats and hopes to crash the innocents and their personalities. Yes, tearing up and trembles….

~~~Yes, in SF it would be interesting to find similar heart and soul conversations if one finds another soul, willing to talk… and fight like crazy to keep the good ones when you do find them

Thank you, as always, Sharon.

Ha!

There's more of us than you would think. If you know any Sane people in SF, send 'em our way...

Ha ha….my siblings go up there often for an overnight and or 49-ers! But they are completely vac and convinced of climate change so I won’t direct them your way. LOL. Otherwise very intelligent ~~~Btw, notice you use “chuffed”. I read a lot of British and chuckle at the word…is it “excited,” what?

Expand full comment

Ah yes they probably won’t be into the Sane Gang then :)

I found the wonderful Neil Sutherland book “San Francisco from the Air “ in the sale shelves at our library, for $3 I think, recently. It’s so much fun looking at the pictures of houses, streets, sections of the city and imagining a life down there. But I wouldn’t live above second or third floor, would rather meet the firefighter my way. ~~~Coit Tower, Ferry Building, and skyscrapers…..you are indeed blessed, for as long as you can work it for you. Printed in Spain, dontcha know?!

“Chuffed” means “pleased” or “satisfied” 🤓

Very interesting word!

Teaching it to a 3 year old as they are playing with their trains LOL Sounds the same Mom!

Totally concur!! Inspiring and empowering. I'm going to chime in with my reply from this a.m., before you were off to see the film:

A friend & I saw SOUND OF FREEDOM in the theater yesterday. It was remarkable, stunning, horrific & offered many moments of silence for the viewers to create meaning in their own minds. Extremely effective & very well-produced, this film exuded strength, hope & integrity. I hope lots of people see it.🤍 About the theater experience, as I mentioned in a reply to Sharon:

SOUND OF FREEDOM was deeply moving. Our theater was very full (11 am matinee, 7/3), and everyone stayed for the credits & announcement. There was an energy in the room like we were at a church service, folks silently acknowledging one another, like we were there for a shared purpose. And we all clapped after James C’s direct-to-camera share at the end.❤️

I second this message! Just got home from the theater and I'm so emotional about what I just saw. This movie is a must-see -- partly because it tells these children's stories, partly because it makes you feel empowered to DO something, and partly because it leaves you feeling like something CAN be done!

Awesome!!! Thank you, Mickey! You see, I'm missing being a part of this today, which is why I was hoping you would write your response to the movie. I would be going myself today, but I'm spending the 4th with my wife and two kids, and they would NOT want to go see this--not because they don't care, but because they care too much and would get emotionally upset by the content. My wife doesn't read my newsletter, LOL. She needs her truths in small doses, and its best for me to verbally share things with her now and then. Anyhow, maybe I can find some people to go in the next few days, but I imagine this film will go to streaming fairly quickly....

You're most welcome, my friend, and I hear you. It's a tough watch.

I trust you're having fun with the fam!

I don't know about that. I took my 16 year old son today to the film and he really like it. Maybe's he's unusual but in any case it IS a must watch. See it!

A man on a mission! Bless you! The movie is coming out our way on Jul. 21. Planning to see it.

Thank you, David. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thank you so much for this. I grew up in a home with sexual abuse, so I don’t think I’ll be able to see this movie, but I want to help in any way I can.

Until all of these children are free from abuse and exploitation, none of us are truly free.

Thank you, Myriam, and I truly wish you continued healing.

I’m so very sorry….yes, indeed it is emotional, but triumphant, thrilling, and as others have shared it, the mood in the theaters is “together we are seeing truth, and though it is ugly and shredding to our spirit, we now know more about those who are promoting it…and we can bring them down.” ~~~It’s hard to imagine, anyone who is a parent, uncle, whatever, taking part in such ….what words for this? ~~~You know that tune, dum dee dee dum dum….marching against evil. Or Wizard of Oz, “the witch is dead!” 0ne of these days….amen and amen

Hi Micky, Thanks for this message. Where is this playing in New York?

Expand full comment

Ah. I looked it up. It's all over Manhattan. Not much on Long Island yet. I'll catch it this week.

In this powerful interview of Mr. Caviezel and Mr. Ballard by Dr. Jordan Peterson, Ballard offers that this may indeed be presented later in July on Twitter: (Follow @SOFMovie2023)

https://youtu.be/rTBGNEliczc?t=5592 (1:33:12 - please watch the entire episode and consider the Daily Wire Plus full episode, it is powerful!)

"...and we're fortunate enough uh Jordan to get Elon Musk he he actually tweeted out a couple

weeks ago with the trailer and opened up Twitter as a free home for distribution um uh and that

and they're gonna you're gonna we're gonna see a Twitter release uh I think mid-july so that that will be fun to see what happens there oh so that's already in play"

One child trafficed is too many. There were two in this film and the story line was a fabrication. The brother and sister have lived in San Bernardino with their grandmother for most of their life. They were used by a pedophile who gave them toys snd gave their families a place to live.

One needs to research this organization. It is non profit but rakes in tens of millions of dollars.

He has had numerous celebrities do fund raising and then taken them on trips. Tony Robbins, $18 million, Glen Beck, politicians, Paul Hutchinson a billionaire was the Executive Producer. It goes on and on. Many on going investigations. My whistleblowers who have worked with him and knows the fraud.

Tim has a silver tongue and exaggerates the content of his stories.

Go to Wikipedia and to Tim Ballard or O.U.R.

Go the references and open the links. You will not shed another tear as you realize this scam. Do your research.

If you want someone to honor for rescuing children, honor our marines who, worldwide have rescued millions of children and babies from underground cages. Some hooked up to I.V.s because all their organs have been taken and they are keeping them alive to torture them for their adrenochrome valued on the market at 2.2 billion dollars per liter.

Marines who committed suicide because they could no longer live with what they have seen.

200,000 from under the White House tunnels, miles and miles deep in the ground. The last eleven presidents ( excluding Trump) have had access to these little ones day and night.

Please don't praise a man who goes into Foreign countries, sets up parties.

Find people to supply him with dozens of children for wealth men and drunk americans.

He offers so much money because he knows he will get it back. If they don't have kids for sale, or don't have enough, they go out and kidnap more for Mr Ballard.

He is creating the problem in many area's and former employees will willingly tell their tales.

Please, please, please do your research before you give this evil man a single dollar.

Ah yes, Wikipedia the only resource used by my siblings, a la thus being fully informed shall we say….I get a kick out of MSNBC and watch them whenever I can, but I add them to the pile as one sorts dirty laundry

We all must stand united in order to oppose this Satanic scourge upon humankind. Usury and child-sex-trafficking go hand in glove. Reclaim our/your Sovereign soul. God Bless you, Jim Caviezel and all of the film's contributors! ...https://rikitikitavi.substack.com/p/the-satanic-cult-most-people-have

https://healthimpactnews.com/2023/whistleblower-ukraine-is-harvesting-the-organs-of-children-in-laboratories-new-films-on-child-sex-trafficking/ This is the thread I meant to post this article on. It goes into what is true and false in the movie and takes a poke at the deeper and reported issues of child trafficking.
