    Im Colombian and Im from the city where the real event shown in this movie happened. It was back in 2014, 5 people were captured while throwing a “party” for ped0s in an island near the city, Cartagena de Indias. The movie makes a very accurate portrayal of how they recruited children (if you’ve watched the movie, you’ll remember Giselle, the ex-beauty queen who recruited kids as “models” and artists. She actually exists, her name is Kelly Johanna Suarez) and how the raid went down. In my opinion, as a queer, centrist Hispanic immigrant, the discussion around this movie should not be centered in politics, not even related to it. We, as a society, are missing the whole point of the movie, we are overlooking what we are being shown so clearly, and it’s so sad that we still won’t react.

      This film does not portray child trafficking accurately. It does not portray the actions taken to COMBAT child trafficking accurately. It also more or less lies about where the protagonist was during the accounts these are loosely based on.
      This movie was MADE to be political, and to be a rallying point for conservatives to label their enemies as child traffickers, who should all be put up against a wall, and, well, you can guess.

    You know, I remember once my Dad, sister and I watched "The A-Team" in theaters. About 25 minutes in, the movie started cutting to black while the audio was still playing. Then those trivia questions they play before the movie started appearing over the film itself. After a couple minutes, the movie finally stopped, and the theater manager walked in to announce they'd have to stop the movie due to technical difficulties, apologized for the inconvenience, and said we could collect either a refund or a certificate for another viewing of our choosing.

But the end goal is no different, people are corrupt and they just sell you what you trully stand for, but unfortunately they trully do not stand for those values, boycotting a movie about child predators just shows you that even more.

      Conservatives aren't ready for any real conversations on the subject. They're far more concerned with virtue signalling that they watched the anti-pedo movie, making them good people, while any detractors are obviously just pro-pedo.
      But you're right, the tactics OUR attempts to employ have been heavily scrutinized by actual anti-trafficing agencies for actually endangering kids rather than helping or protecting them.
      It's more than just increasing demand for sex traffic, they also impersonated doctors in an attempt to get close to victims, which ultimately leads to traffickers being less inclined to trust doctors and allow them access to see to the children's health. Because that's what kids being trafficked need, less access to medical care.

    My therapist (who's really nice and doesn't know much about foreign movies) brought up Sound of Freedom when I was talking about child trafficking in a session. I was dying inside for a solid minute until I explained it was a conservative movie with homophobic ties and she made it clear she was not about that. I hate the built up hype around this and especially the narrative that if you don't care about the movie you don't care about child trafficking because it's a rhetoric that completely excludes actual victims from the conversation.
    Statistically speaking, conservatives have said that to at least one victim of child trafficking. If they cared they would know about the type of trauma that those victims face and that re-exposing victims to that environment is not a good thing to promote. Like not surprising from the people who use "you're triggered" as an insult and promote laws that lower mental health access but still frustrating just the same.

      It's lies like "homophobic ties" in a movie that has no homophobic or political references that make me think you're probably liberal. (Unless you're referring to grown men intersted in young boys, which is technically gay, but, does happen. It only seems to be ONE side of the political spectrum that lies about this movie. That being said, you do not need to watch the movie but can we both agree that, dramatized or not, a movie touching the surface of the horror of child trafficking may yet inspire SOME folks to do something about it? That's a win in my book, no matter which political side you belong to. Step 2 would be to hold our leaders, (religious figurehead too) accountable for their involvement in all of this

    Centrism is not unbiased. Centrism sedes political support to conserving the status quo. The problem with your line of thinking is that the political parties do not represent ideology, they are influenced by it. For example, Democrats libs are mostly “center” left, as the greatest divide comes from the right’s culture war nonsense, and on actual politics, both parties are in agreement more often. The actual opposite to conservatism is progressivism, or the bettering of society.
