If you've seen "Sound of Freedom," you now know more than you ever wanted to know about child trafficking. The movie was buried for five years until Angel Studios picked it up. To everyone's surprise, it's now in 4000 theatres and has brought in over $130 million on budget costs of $15 million.
It has no religious message, but is seen anyway as part of a current trend of faith-based entertainment that includes "Jesus Revolution" and of course "The Chosen."
Polling says that less than half of Americans view pastors or priests in a positive light, while only 57% like Christianity in general. Yet 71% of Americans still like Jesus.
Christians believe there's a "deep hunger for spiritually significant stories rooted in eternal questions of life and death." As the Bible says, God placed eternity in our hearts.
