      Ah yes, the 'you're a groomer' remark. Glad to see you can use parroted buzzwords.

      The fact it has 99% audience score on RT should make any sane person question its validity, and that goes for any piece of media. No real people agree 80% of the time, let alone 99% of the time.

      Child trafficking is terrible and sickening. Don't need a film to tell me that or open my eyes to it.

    I'll absolutely watch it with an open mind once it hits the internet, but you couldn't pay me to go and sit in a cinema and watch this with the crowd that's thrown its weight behind it. I don't care if the film is even good or bad, but the 'ground support' this film is getting from average Joes is suss as hell and is embarrassing.

    You can want to end child trafficking without seeing or supporting this film. That idea is seemingly lost on people, though.

      They sell the 'saved' children to Mormon families. They steal the kids. The kids aren't sex workers, Ballard and his mates pay for them to be kidnapped and then sell them to Mormons.

      You're the grub supporting child trafficking because you're too lazy to look into things before opening your mouth.

      Grub indeed.

          Tons. I hope you have a few hours spare though.

          I did a podcast on it, but obviously that means you have to take my word for it.

          But I got a lot of the reportage from
          https://www.vice.com/en/contributor/anna-merlan

          and

          https://americancrimejournal.com/category/investigates/opera…

          The fact that they don't try and re-home the rescued kids is a complex one which I actually (bizarrely) dug up from a conspiracy website - Ballard was on video saying they assume the families do not want them and do not attempt to reunite them. While in some circumstances the family is in on it, not trying to reunite them and send them off to Utah to become Mormons is a big part of his 'mission work' to convert the world to LDS/Mormonism.

          It's a big rabbit hole though. I've spent days on this and barely scratched the surface - the authors and journos around this have been doing it for years.

            @krunchymoses: Thanks mate, very interesting I'll look into all of that.
            Would the alternative, rather than sending the kids to Utah, to hand them over to the authorities be the right way in keeping the Children/ Women safe if the families don't want them back or hard to reach?

            What is the podcast that you made? Do you cover human trafficking in general as well?

            • krunchymoses on 17/09/2023 - 14:37
              +9

              @TheEnvelope: Nah, we are a conspiracy theory debunking/mocking podcast. I used to be well into CTs and then realised they are full of it. But also quite funny.

              If the families don't want them or are difficult to reach then you have a problem. And that problem needs a plan - it's all under the umbrella of 'aftercare'. Ballard does this to make content and get donations. He films the 'raids' and posts it alongside calls for money. The aftercare is an afterthought. Most orgs spend most of their money on aftercare. OUR spend it on salaries for Tim, his mates and his family. It's a big old grift.

              Some families are def problematic. But in this instance it is alleged that the raids are in random areas where they will flash cash to impoverished people and demand children. Reports are that they would come back with young sex workers but they would demand them to be younger and younger until they were satisfied with their age. This has resulted in the theory that instead of rescuing children, they paid for them to be kidnapped. They created the demand. In doing this, they would then dump the kids with the local cops and fly out. No money, no help. Local services often just let the kids go on their own - possibly miles away from home - as they didn't have a plan for them. Eventually Ballard started a plan to send them to Utah as they would increase their profits by selling the kids to giant Mormon families who believe they are saving a soul by buying the kid. Gee, never imagine that could result in abuse though huh? /s

    Fact: Child Trafficking is messed up. Literally 99.99% of people already know and think this.

    Fact: This movie is not a true story. It has been confirmed to be a complete fabrication with the only "based on a true story part" being that child trafficking happens.

    Fact: For some reason extreme righties think this movie is the second coming of Christ and will tell you if you don't watch it then you're support child trafficking.

    Fact: The same people who are crying on how "woke" movies are now with agendas being shoved down your throat are failing to see the irony in praising this movie.

    Why so much anger over this? If you are angry over this, don't watch, otherwise you are just sweeping the issue under the carpet and refused child trafficking existed.

    This film raises awareness to those who turns a blind eye or simply have no idea on stark reality.

      This type of horrid stuff has been happening since time immemorial, where was the outrage from religious conservatives when children were molested or killed in Churches, convents etc?

      Why hasn't there been outage in the child smuggling operations in Northern Nigeria and Niger region by these nutters?

      Only when their QAnon handlers shake the outrage tree do these people say, 'see whats happening, why isn't anyone talking about it'?

        After reading quite a few articles, and from experts in the field, seems the events depicted are a very minor occurrence of how child trafficking occurs, sensationalized and altered from the writers own mouth.

        Social engineering is a cinch these days.

        Ironic claiming social engineering is a 'MSM' thing, considering the crazy number of 10/10 'fan' reviews the movie get, the amount of defense any negative reviews or press gets, and the majority of its funding model is convincing people to give them more $ than just the ticket price (rather than perhaps donating that money to worthwhile causes that may actually make a difference to child trafficking).

    You mean they are giving young children to the Mormons? The same people who believe in marrying girls off at a young age. There are a number of comments made that the main guy was Brigham Young. The same mob that will cut people cold from their families if they decide to leave the church.

    Also, as others have said, if you didn’t know about child trafficking before this you need to get out more. Rather than just watching the movie do some of your own investigations and don’t go down the QAnon rabbit holes. The rightwing are much more likely to be abusing children than the left. Google how orphans were treated in orphanages run by religious orders. It is pretty sickening stuff. People inherently trusted the churches to do the correct thing because they were meant to be the “moral authority”.

      It's just money. At the end Caviezel basically tells the audience if they want to stop child sex trafficking people need to see the movie - and you can pay a ticket forward on the website. People are gullible and this movie manipulates them emotionally. But it's not as much about an agenda, but to make money.

      A reasonable conspiracy theory would be that this movie is being made to distract people from the real CSA - either in the church (the LDS church where Ballard is from is huge here) and also the 'dirty uncle' that is the majority of this kind of abuse. I don't buy into that though. I think it's just that the Harmon brothers behind Angel are very very smart. They also did this with another movie of theirs which was about Abraham and Isaac and it had a huge impact on their box office take.

    I've heard it's a pretty boring, generic thriller without any solid plot and lengthy periods of rambling incoherence.

      Slow at the start, but it's a decent watch if you like to riff with friends over B-action that's unintentionally funny.

    'Free', also known as 'we bought all the tickets ourselves in order to artificially boost our numbers, and need to give them away because no-one is actually willing to sit through this rubbish.'

    I don't remember this much controversy when Taken (2008) was released.. or it's subsequent sequels of diminishing quality. That was Hollywood making money off an action film centered around human trafficking of minors. This is a fairly mellow film by comparison based on actual events and real crimes happening around the world on a daily basis. If anything, the raid was toned down because of budget and casting.

    Whatever you don't like about the who and why this film exists, you can leave that at the door to learn for yourself what is happening in the real world, how to recognise it and what can be done to try and stop it.

    I plan on setting up a screening using my own equipment with a community church group I volunteer with (I'm not a Christian, I just like to help). The studio won't get a dollar, no one will pay the price except for those who have it coming.

      Taken didn't (well, it kinda did but didn't) purport to be based on a true story. Much more than that, it did not try to be a participatory experience for people looking to become heroes. If you can't see the problem with this film and its impact on people then you haven't looked.

        The issue seems confused in the comments though. That money is made from this film. Or that it's not 100% a documentary. Or both. I personally hate any true story or biopic that warps and changes facts for entertainment and pacing, which to my understanding was done as minimally as possible in this instance.

        Aside from the movement type following associated with it, many have criticised how inadequately the film handles the audience being able to make a difference. Reducing participation down to merely telling people to see it.

        I do see the problem. But I also see the benefit.

        • krunchymoses on 17/09/2023 - 15:19

          This film is going to spawn a wave of people going into impoverished locations and kicking down doors to save the children. The last thing we need is Bubba and Joe going to South America on vacation to save the world.

          But that's what's gonna happena and it's not gonna be good.

            @krunchymoses: I'd also agree that's not a good thing, but until that happens it's not a reason to bury the film based on hypotheticals. The inadequacy I was referring to, is during the credits with Caviezel, there's the expectation for him to highlight agencies or websites with more information, to better inform the audience - but that doesn't happen.

            At best or most at a large scale, all this awareness will mean people understand it's a very real thing that's happening, put a "how to spot trafficking" poster in bathrooms and some save a hotline to their phone. If that leads to investigations and reducing abuse, it worked. This could've all been done with a documentary, but they rarely get worldwide cinema releases and few would be rushing to see real children in these circumstances.

            • krunchymoses on 17/09/2023 - 17:24

              @formulated: It's not really a hypothetical though. It's happening. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/episode-244-florida-fl…

              Producer Paul Hutchinson also admitted that this would happen as a result of the film. It's not just going to happen, it's happening.

              Caviezel is an actor and did what he was told - to do a sales pitch at the end for Angel. In a perfect world that would be a call for donations to legit orgs but that was never on the cards.

              Posters in toilets and hotlines on phones are more likely to result in mexican families being harassed at wal-marts and people calling into trafficking hotlines with bullshit conspiracy theories. It's cynical, but the wayfair conspiracy theory saw this play out and Vice have reported similar bullshit thanks to chuds seeing this movie and getting misplaced justice boners.

    To steal from The DIC
    "One a the most amusing things about the Sound of Freedom movie. O.U.R isn't even getting money from it directly (But O.U.R and Tim are pretty questionable anyway. OUR and Tim Ballard's big lie.

    So if you watch this then crow about #SaveTheChildren, but not donate to an appropriate organisation, you're literally doing f#ck all, except putting money into the pockets of execs, studios and associated businesses.

    The the closest you'll get to the studios donating, is them reimbursing the costs, if a non for profit holds an event at a theatre with their movie, at least 70% fill said event and also sends photos of them with a sign up. So, just getting more tickets sales really.

    Angel Studios is also a for profit business.

    "the first step in spreading awareness about child trafficking"

    Is that really a correct statement?

    We are all for child protection but watching some half/half movie with a strange viral finance scheme behind it is hardly the first big step. There are many NGOs already out there dedicated to child protection.

    Down voting because this movie is based on a grifter who has been exposed lying about the work he does many times. The first step to combating child sex trafficking is forgetting that this movie exist, and reading up on the real NGOs that actually combat this stuff. All the other big name organisations in the industry are against him and what he does

      Big name organisations are the perfect hiding place for trafficking…Clinton Foundation is a perfect example…Same with the Red Cross, these NGO's have proven time and time again that they cannot be trusted to distribute donations to the people who need it, they feather their own nests and do a photoshoot, pump a bunch of Bill Gates experimental vaccines into everyone then tuck and run. NGO's are basically fronts for Intelligence agencies whose primary goals are instigating coup's, assassination, and trafficking drugs people and weapons, so i take their statements of fact with a large dose of skepticism. I cannot judge this movie as i haven't seen it, but clearly it has people talking about the issue on both sides of the fence so it's job is done.

      • Gehirn on 17/09/2023 - 21:54

        The Republican party has members charged with trafficking and associates of traffickers too. Don't forget that big name organisation.

        What flavour koolaid do you guys have at your parties? Is it orange? I'm going to guess it orange.
