Trump to host screening of ‘Sound of Freedom’ at upcoming event
BEDMINSTER, N.J. (FLV) – Former President Donald Trump has announced plans to host a special screening of the film “Sound of Freedom” at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster on July 19.
“Sound of Freedom,” which premiered on July 4, earning $41.7 million in its first week and securing the top spot at the box office, will be showcased during the exclusive event.
The film, distributed by Angel Studios, was produced by Mexican filmmaker Eduardo Verástegui and stars Jim Caviezel.
The movie is based on the true story of federal agent Tim Ballard’s heroic mission to rescue children from child sex traffickers in Colombia.
Ballard, Caviezel, and Verástegui are all set to attend Trump’s screening of the movie at his club in New Jersey.
According to a press release announcing the screening, human trafficking convictions rose by 14% in 2017.
The press release also included a quote from Trump during his first term in which he says he is “prepared to bring the full force and weight of our government” to end human trafficking.
It also highlighted an executive order Trump signed which directed federal law enforcement to “prioritize demolishing the criminal organizations behind forced labor, sex trafficking, and child exploitation.”
Additionally, it emphasized the construction of “over 450 miles of robust border wall and instituted strong immigration policies like Title 42 to thwart these horrific crimes from occurring across America’s southern border.”
