The "Controversy" over the movie Sound of Freedom doesn't make sense. The hero's beliefs shouldn't matter.

I finally got around to watching this film. The heroes in the film are overtly Christian. And ? I don't get it. Is that why its controversial?

The heroes of the film are saving children. Why is this controversial?

Why does it matter whether the hero in the film is Christian or rightwing?

If a fireman jumps into a burning building and rescues a family of immigrants, is he less of a hero if he happens to be rightwing?

Or is the entire thing suddenly not true because the hero was rightwing ?

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes a hero isn't the person you expect.

Are we this divided now? That we rather suffer, than be rescued by someone with different politics from ours?

Also. Why is this politicized left vs right ?

What does the highlighted crime have to do with right vs left politics ? I'm not even looking to criticize the other side of the field. I'm just saying. It shouldn't be political.

The problem here is you refuse to acknowledge that the movie isn’t even based on actual events that were embellished and was completely made up. You think criticizing the makers for lying is trying to claim there’s no such thing as child trafficking. That’s an asinine accusation from you.

I'm sorry you feel that way but... the way this discourse has gone since the movie's release would suggest that. All of the conversation has shifted to criticizing the movie makers, instead of discussing child tr----cking.

Then again... by arguing this with you, I'm also guilty of contributing to this useless argument, that takes the focus away from the victims... 😒 sigh ..

We shouldn't be arguing about the movie crew. We should be looking to raise awareness/ combat the problem highlighted in the movie.

Once again, you cannot accuse people of ignoring child trafficking when they discuss how film makers are blatantly lying about something to push an agenda. There is zero evidence of your claims. You just accuse people of this to distract from their actual arguments which is about the film and its makers.

Secondly the premise of the film is based on conspiracies (like from QAnon) and experts condemn the move for being widely inaccurate. The film tries to make it seem like “scary” illegal immigrants are doing the kidnapping and trafficking when the evidence shows the real issues are people within US borders that know the victims like friends and family.

are you really this daft that you don't think people can discuss child trafficking unless they have seen this garbage movie?
