House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will host a screening of “Sound of Freedom,” a film about a human trafficking rescue operation, on Capitol Hill for members of Congress.
Scheduled for July 25, the screening will also be attended by Jim Caviezel, the movie’s starring actor, and Operation Underground Railroad’s Tim Ballard, who inspired the film.
An invitation for the event circulating on Twitter revealed that the screening will be prefaced by a reception with the film’s cast and crew and a conversation between Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Caviezel, and Mr. Ballard.
For instance, while acknowledging that “Sound of Freedom” is “not about conspiracy theories,” a recent CNN report characterized the film as “Q-Anon adjacent,” holding that Mr. Caviezel, a practicing Christian, has “often shared views similar to those of conspiracy theorists.”
Other media outlets have echoed CNN’s messaging, criticizing the film over Mr. Caviezel’s personal beliefs and opinions.
Responding to that criticism on an episode of “The Charlie Kirk Show” podcast, the actor noted that he didn’t know about Q-Anon or any associated theories when he filmed the movie five years ago.
Despite the continued attacks, former President Donald Trump hosted his own screening of “Sound of Freedom” at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club on July 19. Among the attendees were some of the presidential candidate’s most ardent supporters, including his daughter and son-in-law Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, and former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
“I hope you enjoyed it,” Mr. Trump said after the movie. “It’s something I’m not sure if you’re supposed to enjoy or learn—it’s a combination. But that was a great movie. Now I understand why it’s doing so well.”
Calling the movie an “incredible inspiration,” he also praised Mr. Caviezel, telling him it was an honor to get to know him.

Bipartisan? Not a single Dem except may be Manchin will show up.
Democrats not attending gains more free coverage of the movie in the news. Win-win.
Half of congress is a participant. Stop with the dramatics and actually do something about it. Like close the border and quit funding Ukraine. Release the Epstein island John list and impeach and remove Biden. Will they? Of course not.
But by all means… show a movie.
I’m sure libtards will rush forward to see a freedom movie 🙄
No one thinks this movie will solve all the ills of the country, but it is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
Baby steps.
“Democrats not attending gains more free coverage of the movie in the news. Win-win.”
Except unfortunately, the MSM will never breath a word of that being the case.
And they're even less likely to watch a film about hunting down pedophiles and child traffickers and freeing their victims.
Leftists, libtards, "progressives," whatever you call them, are by and large a disjointed collection of talentless, envious, destructive, anti-human and sexual degenerates of the lowest, most vile order.
They destroy everything that is good or innocent or beautiful while they exalt vileness, perversion and ugliness.
Very interesting. Anyone who doesnt attend will have a pro pedo pro child sex slave stigma.
If this happens it will be among the best things that McCarthy has ever done.
I actually fear for Mr Caviezel’s life if any Democrat shows up for the screening. Things have gotten that freaky.
Yup, gotta start somewhere. Should have. Been done decades ago. Oh well…
Bipartisan. Does that word even mean anything any more.
McCarthy doesn't want to do his job folks. He wants to virtue-signal to his donors and grift off of MAGA.
Very interesting. Anyone who doesnt attend will have a pro pedo pro child sex slave stigma.

As they should

McCarthy is the only one in the USA who doesn’t know that.
