Actor Jim Caviezel has defended the film Sound of Freedom, in which he has a lead role, amid criticism it is linked to the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory.

 

In a July 11 edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, hosted by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Caviezel addressed claims that he and the Sound of Freedom were "QAnon adjacent."

 

The film is based on the story of Operation Underground Railroad founder Tim Ballard and tells the story of the fight against child sex trafficking, primarily in the Western Hemisphere.

 

Ballard has distanced the movie from any ties to QAnon, branding such allegations as "sick."

Sound of Freedom brings the culture wars to the big screen

Is QAnon winning at the box office? Variety reported that's what some critics are saying about the success of Sound of Freedom, a faith-based thriller about child trafficking, after it took in $40 million during its first six days of release. The movie's defenders say that its success proves that Hollywood all too often overlooks the potential of films that appeal to religious conservatives. That accomplishment "reflects a demand by an underserved audience who are hungry for entertainment that reflects their values and beliefs," said one analyst.
