John Rich talks about combating child trafficking and recommends a must-watch movie for all American parents.

Country Music Star John Rich Advocates for Awareness of Human Trafficking

Country music star John Rich is urging every parent in America to watch a powerful movie that sheds light on the alarming rise of human trafficking victimizing children in the U.S. In a special edition of “Morning Wire,” Rich joined Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley to discuss his advocacy for the new film “The Sound of Freedom.” Starring Jim Caviezel, the movie follows the story of Tim Ballard, a former government agent-turned-activist, who embarks on a dangerous mission to rescue numerous children from the clutches of human trafficking.

Shining a Light on the Reality of Human Trafficking

According to Rich, many people are aware of the existence of human trafficking, but they fail to grasp its magnitude. He emphasizes that this issue is not limited to certain areas; it is happening everywhere, all the time. The film “The Sound of Freedom” effectively immerses viewers in the harrowing reality of child trafficking. Rich passionately urges every parent to watch this gripping movie, as it provides a profound understanding of the crisis.

The film has already generated significant buzz, with $10 million in box office presales before its July 4 opening. The studio is anticipating a strong start, aiming for a $20 million six-day debut, as reported by Deadline.

A Desperate Mission to Save Lives

The press release for the film describes its plot, stating that after rescuing a young boy from heartless child traffickers, a federal agent discovers that the boy’s sister is still in captivity. Determined to save her, he embarks on a perilous journey deep into the Colombian jungle, risking his own life to free her from a fate worse than death.

The Urgent Need for Action

The conversation also delves into the lack of attention given to the human trafficking crisis. Rich expresses frustration at the inaction of government officials who possess the power to make a difference. He questions why more has not been done to combat this issue, especially considering the staggering number of unaccompanied minors who have crossed the southern border illegally in recent years. With approximately 250,000 children currently in the U.S. without proper guardianship, Rich highlights the absence of widespread awareness and action.

To address this crisis, Rich believes that the American public must awaken en masse and support organizations fighting against child trafficking.
