Director Alejandro Monteverde and co-writer Rod Barr say they wanted their film — which has been associated with QAnon and become highly polarized even as it’s grossed $172.8 million — to bring an apolitical awareness to an important matter, which "is not a conservative or a liberal issue."

Christ al-fucking-mighty.

Open a new tab. Go to Google. Search, "operation underground railroad investigative reports site:vice.com". Start reading.

You'll quickly understand why this is all a grift.

Odd choice to hire Jim "Adrenochrome" Caviezel, in that Case. Why not any other actor that is not already associated with this issue?

That's a fair point, and actually looking at the film's budget, I'm guessing it's because he was a good actor who was so passionate about the issue that he was okay with making the movie for free.

We made Sound of Freedom in a sincere effort to unite people around a fundamental human rights issue.

Good, that's the way it should be

Why did it become associated with Qanon in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

QAnon adherents are obsessed with child trafficking and pedophiles and seem to see both everywhere they look, such as the nonexistent basements of pizza restaurants. (They are also deeply stupid.)

All a while finding them in their own ranks 🤷‍♂️

I have not seen it but my guess would be the pizza gate mess.
