“Steve Jobs once said the most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. Abraham Lincoln credited Harriet Stowe when she wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin – this powerful story inspired millions to rise up and fight against slavery,” said Jim Caviezel. “I think we can make Sound of Freedom the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of 21st century slavery.”

I was very apprehensive when I went to see the film last night but I know that, as with slaughterhouses and animal abuse, unless people open their eyes to things they don’t want to look at, nothing will change. This is a powerful film that every decent person must see. Brilliantly written and acted, Sound of Freedom will keep you gripped from beginning to end. I was riveted. The entire two hours and ten minutes went by in what seemed like a fraction of that time. If there is to be an end to slavery and sex trafficking (a multi-billion dollar industry) we all have to face it head on.

This film was actually made five years ago but it has faced every possible road-block to getting it in the theatres because, as we might realise from the fact that this abominable trade has not been shut down, there must be some extremely powerful people involved in or profiting from it.

Please go and see it so that you can share its message – watch to the end of the credits for a powerful plea from Jim Caviezel who says that there are more humans kept in slavery than at any other time in history, including when slavery was legal, and millions of them are children.

Even if you can’t afford a cinema ticket, you can claim a free ticket from the Angel film studios who have persuaded those who can afford it to buy a ticket for someone else by paying it forward. Go to angel.com/freedom

Please don’t look the other way. Watch Sound of Freedom.
