Part 5/11:

Major news outlets and media channels have responded to Sound of Freedom with a mixture of skepticism, mockery, and political spins. An avalanche of articles compared the movie’s themes—about child trafficking and rescue operations—to conspiracy theories prevalent in QAnon communities. Rolling Stone notably published an article labeling the film as a "superhero movie for dads with brain worms," suggesting that it appeals to conspiracy-minded adults rather than a broad audience.

The media's framing often dismisses the film's depiction of human trafficking as mere propaganda or moral panic, rather than acknowledging it as rooted in real issues. This has sparked a heated debate on whether the movie glamorizes or trivializes the serious subject matter.
