Faith-Based Film About Child Trafficking Breaks Box Office Records

The new movie "Sound of Freedom," inspired by the life of Tim Ballard who rescues victims of human trafficking, earned $14.5 million in its debut and scored the top spot at the box office.
The film starring Jim Caviezel sold out shows and received positive reviews, earning an A+ CinemaScore rating.
It was originally produced by Fox International and distributed by Angel Studios, which focuses on "wholesome" content appealing to faith-based audiences.
The movie's success was aided by Angel Studios' pre-selling efforts and "pay it forward" program in which ticket buyers could donate tickets to others.
The film tells the true story of Ballard, a former federal agent, and his nonprofit Operation Underground Railroad, which has rescued 6,000 trafficked children.
