Distribution
The film was completed in 2018 and a distribution deal was made with 20th Century Fox. However, that studio was purchased by the Walt Disney Company, which shelved the film. The filmmakers reportedly spent years trying to get the distribution rights back from Disney and take it to theaters.
Verástegui approached Angel Studios with the release rights. Angel presented the film to an online group of 100,000 investors in its past projects called the Angel Guild, which gave it a “yes” vote within days. In March 2023, Variety reported that Angel Studios had acquired the worldwide distribution rights, with a planned release during the second half of 2023. Angel later set a release date of July 4, 2023.
Angel used equity crowdfunding to raise the funds needed to distribute and market the film. 7,000 people invested, allowing Angel to meet its $5 million goal in two weeks. They also encouraged patrons to “pay it forward” to allow people who might not otherwise see the movie to watch it in theaters for free. Goya Cares, an anti-human trafficking foundation established by Goya Foods, announced its support as executive producer for the release. Actor and director Mel Gibson endorsed the film in a video.
An interview with actress Cristal Aparicio that is about a year old.
She played the little girl in Sound of Freedom.
Have to remember some of the scenes in the film was made in 2017 time frame she is clearly a young lady now.

NEW Trailer as of 21 June 2023 - See the NEW Video Official Trailer views
21 June 2023 to date: 11,872,054
3,133,703 tickets purchased by over 136,600 people (site is no longer posting this data point, however it should be noted that the real time chat stream is posting the number of tickets purchased at a particular theater. Stunning !
This # is slowly and steadily growing !!
What this means is rather than big donors giving away 2,000,000 FREE tickets to boost their opening week numbers by buying seats that may not be occupied. By using “Pay it Forward” model regular people who can afford to buy a few extra tickets for someone who can’t afford to pay for a movie ticket in a regular theater can get a ticket that was paid for by someone who wanted to help share this message !
Q. Why is it important that we have 2,000,000 viewers on the 4th of July weekend?
A. This year alone 2,000,000 children will become a VICTIM of human trafficking!!
We can shed LIGHT on this DARKNESS by telling this story !
????? How many tickets have you reserved ?????
As the box office data updates this weekend it is on track to be #1 again and beat Indiana Jones as this will be the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday showing Sound of Freedom whereas Indiana Jones will be in its 2nd full weekend and is playing in almost twice the number of venues.
The revenue per showing for Sound of Freedom (fewer empty seats) is incredible!
