Taglines: Break the silence. Save the children.
Sound of Freedom tells the story of Tim Ballard, a former operative, who quits his job as a Special Agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to save children from cartels and human traffickers. It takes a look into the child trafficking in Latin American countries, especially Mexico.
Ballard calls himself a modern day abolitionist and in addition to saving these children he wants to get rid of the problem at the root. He says that America is the biggest consumer of this evil. The story will show how Ballard went to Colombia to rescue 127 children from sexual abuse and misery.
Sound of Freedom is an American biographical action drama film directed by Alejandro Monteverde and starring Jim Caviezel, Mira Sorvino, and Bill Camp. Caviezel plays Tim Ballard, a self-styled anti-human trafficking activist and founder of the organization Operation Underground Railroad.
Principal photography began in the summer of 2018. While some of Sound of Freedom was shot in the United States (Calexico, California). most of the film was shot in Cartagena, Colombia. Jim Caviezel has stated that this was the second most important film he has ever done. He ranks it behind his role as Jesus Christ in 2004’s The Passion of the Christ.
Tim Ballard personally requested that Jim Caviezel portray him in the film; the producers were taken aback by the request and tried to convince him to select an actor who more closely resembled him. However, Ballard was steadfast, saying that he was affected by Caviezel’s roles in The Passion of the Christ and The Count of Monte Cristo.
