I have been vehemently attacked and criticized by some people for daring to publish critical articles about the Sound of Freedom movie, especially the article about the people who funded the movie, the billionaire philanthropists with ties to human trafficking.
But the source for this funding is Tim Ballard himself, who stated who was funding the movie in an interview in Utah 5 years ago on Fox News.
This same local news outlet, Fox 13 News Utah, also reported in 2020 that Tim Ballard's organization, Operation Underground Railroad, was under criminal investigation for its fundraising methods.
Some people have also attacked me for referring to Sound of Freedom as a fictional movie, and not a documentary.
But again, the source of this information is Tim Ballard himself, who put up a page on the Operation Underground Railroad website stating that the movie was "based on a true story," but that many parts of the movie never happened and were fictional.
Why did Tim Ballard wait until the week before the movie appeared in theaters on July 4th to publish this, when for years he gave interviews about the movie portraying it as a true story leading people to believe it was like a documentary?
Also, why did Tim Ballard walk away from his $525,958.00 a year salary as the CEO and founder of Operation Underground Railroad just before the film was released on the Big Screen?
The predominant narrative in the Right-wing Christian media is that only the "godless, leftist" media is criticizing the Sound of Freedom movie.
Here is a headline from an article that was in my newsfeed today: "Journalists Attacking The Film Sound Of Freedom Should Have Their Hard Drives Investigated."
Really?? Is it true that only the "godless, leftist" media is criticizing the Sound of Freedom movie??
