The Guardian upset that Sound of Freedom is doing well at the box office. Really. HotAir

The movie is about freeing children from sex traffickers, and sex trafficking is a real thing. How do I know? The Department of Justice says so, not just some Q-Anon conspiracy theorists.

It is, in fact, big business. Tens of thousands of children disappear every year in the United States, and many more elsewhere in the world. Sound of Freedom even focuses on sex trafficking outside the US, and there isn t a hint of theorizing about Bill Clinton leading some sex ring. It is pretty straightforward, and not only tells a real-life story, it celebrates fighting a real problem one of the worst taking place in the modern world.

Best not talk about it though. Because Right-wingers don t like sex traffickers, and we shouldn t encourage them. Next thing you know Right-wingers might want to stop it! Damn Christians!

LWJ and I saw Sound of Freedom yesterday. I thought it was a pretty good movie. It was a lot less harrowing than I feared it would be. Somebody on Twitter claimed that Bill Gates is a big shareholder of The Guardian, which might help explain why they are taking a bold stand against a movie that decries it. Child sex trafficking is a horrible thing, and much more present in SD than one would hope.
