Today we're joined by Tim Ballard, anti-sex-trafficking advocate and former special agent for the Department of Homeland Security, who has conducted multiple rescues of children who have been kidnapped and sold for sex. His story is the center of a new box office hit, "Sound of Freedom," starring Jim Caviezel, which shines a light on the horrors of the global sex trafficking industry. The media, though, aren’t happy about this film and its success – they’re calling it part of a QAnon conspiracy theory. We discuss how close to reality the film is and its wild box office success in relation to Disney's new Indiana Jones movie. We take a look at some statistics and the fact that the media attempting to push people away from this film will only push people to the right. We look at other recent stories of child trafficking happening right here in the U.S. and explain the reason this is becoming more and more of an issue: Not shockingly, most of it comes down to porn and the destruction it causes. Tim explains how we can fight back through awareness, and one step is sharing this film.
