*Sound of Freedom*

I enjoyed watching this somewhat controversial production.  In terms of quality, think of it as comparable to a very good made-for-TV movie. The political message, that we don’t worry enough about sex trafficking of minors is I think mostly correct, though I would not buy most of the baggage that in today’s world so often comes with that view.  The cinematography of Latin America is very good, and interestingly this movie has an easier time feeling “genuinely international” than do most Hollywood productions.  The opening scene is set in Tegulcigalpa, Honduras.  Here is some useful background on the movie.  I am happy to see a film showcasing freedom and presenting slavery as a complete negative.
