The importance of raising awareness on child trafficking
John Rich emphasizes the importance of the film 'Sound of Freedom' in shedding light on the pervasive issue of child trafficking. He believes that many people are unaware of the extent of this problem, assuming it only happens somewhere else. The movie immerses viewers in the reality of child trafficking, evoking strong emotions and prompting reflection. According to Rich, every parent should watch this film to better understand the issue and the urgency to address it. Child trafficking has seen a significant increase in recent years, but government officials and Hollywood have not given it enough attention.
The connection between child trafficking and open border policies
John Rich points out the connection between open border policies and the rise in child trafficking. He highlights the large number of unaccompanied children entering the United States and the lack of attention this crisis receives in the media. Rich argues that leaving the border open allows criminals on both sides to exploit the situation, resulting in millions of children living in horrific conditions. He questions why those in power have not taken effective action and suggests supporting organizations like Tim Tebow's and Tim Ballard's that actively combat child trafficking. The film aims to raise awareness and inspire everyday Americans to join the fight against this heinous crime.
The growing crisis of child trafficking is gaining more attention in recent days, in part due to buzz around the new film “Sound of Freedom,” starring Jim Caviezel and the true story of a special agent’s work to bring down the horrific industry. We speak with country music star and entrepreneur John Rich, an angel investor in the film, about the tragedy of child trafficking and what it will take to end it.
