The newly released movie “Sound of Freedom” is raising Canadians’ awareness of human trafficking and motivating people to respond, say two longtime advocates working to combat the trade in humans.
The drama, based on true events, tells the story of Tim Ballard, an employee for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, who rescues young Columbian siblings and others trafficked for child prostitution. The film, which stars Jim Caviezel playing Mr. Ballard, grossed US$14 million in the United States on its July 4 debut for top spot at the box office.
