Amid ’Sound of Freedom’ Media Attacks, Utah AG Doesn’t Mince Words, Says ’Tim Ballard Is a Hero’

Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes is a politician and public servant, but he’s also a confidant and friend of Tim Ballard, the subject of the new movie “Sound of Freedom.“ Ballard, who is played by “The Passion of the Christ“ actor Jim Caviezel, is a real-life former government agent; in the film, his journey of discovering the horrors of human trafficking and then going on a mission to save children is depicted. Tickets to the film continue to sell, bringing the topic of child trafficking to the forefront of the media. Reyes, an associate producer on the movie, joined CBN’s Faithwire to defend Ballard against media narratives attacking his character. The Utah attorney general’s interview comes as some outlets also seem intent on trying to connect its themes to QAnon and extremism. Just consider the teaser for the Rolling Stone review, which read, “The QAnon-tinged thriller about child-trafficking is designed to appeal to the conscience of a conspiracy-addled boomer.“ A review in The Guardian called the movie “QAnon-adjacent thriller.“ “Tim Ballard is a hero,“ Reyes proclaimed, revealing he has joined Ballard on missions to rescue kids. Watch Reyes reveal behind-the-scenes details.
