Thank you for writing on the Sound of Freedom. I was wondering if anyone from Film Yap would. I have been saying this is NOT a political or Christian movie. Sound of Freedom is a movie about shining a light on the unfathomable torturous problem of child trafficking. Human trafficking is about to surpass the drug trade. Once again, thank you.
A Latino comedian I follow said the film suffers from white savior syndrome.
The goodies are light skinned Latinos and/or white Americans the bad guys are dark skinned complexion Latinos.
If true that’s an old problem that I don’t need to bother with. He also said there are grass roots groups who are actively doing this kind of work.
Most of which is boring and not dramatic at all.
The film sort of distorts this.
He made a point that I find valid. If this film is what you needed to get informed on the subject you are way behind, there are plenty of books on the subject. It is being discussed, I didn’t need this film to know about the subject matter.
And he mentioned there’s a significant amount of border patrol agents and ICE personnel directly involved in human trafficking something the film doesn’t even bother to cover. If anything it makes them the calvary.
If these critiques are true it could be one reason why the film isn’t being talked about. It may have merit but it’s the same ol two step.
Take a huge serious subject and center the hero and solution around white guys.
I also shared.
Thank you!
You are welcome.
