There are over one million victims of pedophilia. Unfortunately, Leftists and Liberals in the US don’t see that as a big problem

One would expect that all would welcome the news that a successful Hollywood movie on child sex trafficking succeeds in sensitizing people about the evil of pedophilia. Well, all except Leftists and Liberals. They are aghast that Sound of Freedom, the American action film about the heroism of a former US government agent’s crusade against sex traffickers in Colombia, has become a big grosser.

Directed and co-written by Alejandro Monteverde, it is the fictionalized version of the heroism of Tim Ballard, a former US government agent who crusaded against child sex traffickers in Colombia. The movie stars Jim Caviezel, Mira Sorvino, and Bill Camp.

Much of the criticism of the movie emanates from the fact that Caviezel is a QAnon believer. According to BBC, “At its heart, QAnon is a wide-ranging, completely unfounded theory that says that [former US] President [Donald] Trump is waging a secret war against elite Satan-worshipping pedophiles in government, business and the media. QAnon believers have speculated that this fight will lead to a day of reckoning where prominent people such as former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will be arrested and executed.”
