The director of of the box-office hit Sound of Freedom said there is interest in a potential sequel, which he said would focus on Haiti.

In an interview with Variety, Sound of Freedom writer-director Alejandro Monteverde also blasted he mainstream news media for trying to smear the anti-child trafficking drama and its creative team.

Monteverde spoke about a potential sequel to the movie, which has surpassed the latest Indiana Jones and Mission: Impossible movies at the domestic box office.

“There’s definitely a lot of interest to exploring [the subject] a little deeper, because this is just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “There’s a lot of interest to kind of explore Haiti, what’s happening in Haiti. There’s [sequel] talks focusing on Haiti.”

Sound of Freedom is based on the real-life story of Tim Ballard, the former Homeland Security agent who quit his federal government job to devote his career to rescuing children from international sex trafficking rings. The movie focuses on Ballard’s work in Latin America, but he is also working in other regions.

“Haiti was a big part of Tim’s work,” Monteverde added. “I was very tempted to do Haiti on this film. But I wanted to do an origin story, and it was too much material. I needed to end where I ended.”

Monteverde also addressed the mainstream media’s attempts to smear Sound of Freedom as a product of “QAnon” conspiracy theorists.
