Episode 65 - Sound of Freedom with David Johnson, DMD, Alex Robertson and Eva Muntean
This week on Fabulous Film and Friends, we're going to review and discuss 2023’s Sound of Freedom, directed by Alejandro Gomez Monteverde, and starring Jim Caviezel, Bill Camp, Mira Sorvino, Eduardo Verástegui, Yessica Barrote Perryman, Kurt Fuller and Jose Zúñiga.
My guest today are regulars, Alex Robertson, David Johnson, DMD. And in her first Triple F appearance, fearless women's and children's rights activist, movie lover and all around terrific person, Eva Muntean.
Eva has a connection to the film as she worked with Eduardo Verastegui on a book about his film Bella in 2006.
Before we venture into the jungle of this heavy-duty film, the synopsis:
Sound of Freedom tells the story of real-life Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard,who quit his job with the U.S. Child Crimes Task Force down in Colombia to rescue hundreds of trafficked children and then founded the nonprofit Operation Underground Railroad, which offers international operations to rescue children, law enforcement support and aftercare for trafficking survivors.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to all of us, David Johnson has been quietly doing volunteer work for O.U.R. and helping trafficking victims with their aftercare.
What do we all think of the movie?
