A Follow Up Critique: Sound of Freedom (Part 2)

Posted on July 27, 2023 by Alyssa Sonnenburg

Tim Ballard has recently become a celebrated hero in the war on sex trafficking through the film “The Sound of Freedom”, which portrays his life and the organization he founded, Operation Underground Railroad. As you know the IFI has long been a champion of anything which supports Christian values and which strengthens and supports the traditional family, and certainly coming against child pornography and child sex trafficking is consistent with that mission.

While focusing almost exclusively on race as the source of injustice and harm, BLM engage in the politics of racial grievance.
