Sound of Freedom – A MUST See Movie

A friend recommended this movie today based on reading about it and a recommendation from her friend. I went to see it essentially knowing very little about it except it the movie was about child sex trafficking and there was some concern about some concern about the movie and QAnon. It apparently was made by Disney but then shelved for 5 years.

The movie was directed by Alejandro Gómez Monteverde. I was uncomfortable and slightly nauseous during most of the movie. In spite of that I would recommend going with someone and taking tissues. It is based on a true story. I was amazed by how raw and real the movie was while not explicating showing a child being sexually abused. The goal of the movie is to raise awareness about this booming industry. Child trafficking is a a bigger “industry” than drugs globally. You can see drugs once but you can sell a child for sex multiple times per day.

On a lighter note, I had my first bike ride today in Nashville. It was 80 degrees with 80% humidity at 8 AM. We rode about 9 miles and I was in Percy Warner Park for the first time. I had heard there were some challenging hills. I went up a couple of the less challenging hills today and decided it was not the day for more challenging hills. Mary lives in a part of Nashville that allows safe bike routes from her home.

I am continuing to get to know my Match dude virtually. Such wonderful long conversations. The relationship so far has been very FUN. We will finally get together on Sunday.

Tomorrow is another Habitat day of doing the work without volunteers. Such fun!!
