QAnon’s new favorite movie is a box office hit and—shocker!—inspiring conspiracies of its own
“Barbenheimer” weekend, another movie has been tearing up the box office this summer—and, if you’ve been busy living in your Barbie World, you may have never even heard of it: Sound Of Freedom.The film tells the supposedly true story of Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard (The Passion Of The Christ‘s Jim Caviezel) who embarks on a dangerous vigilante mission to rescue children from a sex trafficking ring in Colombia. On RottenTomatoes, it’s earned a 74% approval rating, described as “effective and suspenseful” but “not free of issues in its depiction of the sensitive subject matter.”It’s also a film tangled up in controversy, as key personnel involved—including Caveizel and the real-life Ballard—have history promoting and pushing wild QAnon conspiracy theories.
