Thousands of Ambassadors of Freedom played a pivotal role in the astonishing success of "Sound of Freedom.” The producer and Angel Studios particularly thank Elon Musk, who offered to distribute this life-saving movie through Twitter without taking funds.

“The wealthiest man in the world is using his power to fight for the freedom of children. Elon was the first Ambassador of Freedom, using his platform to promote the movie's mission to rescue children and abolish child slavery,” said producer Eduardo Verástegui. Click here to view Musk’s comment on the “Sound of Freedom” Twitter (now X) page.  

The collective influence of the Ambassadors and the public's fervent response to the urgent issue of child trafficking drove the movie to remarkable milestones including: 

  • The #1 Movie in the United States on July 4th, the anniversary of the rescue of one of the children depicted in the movie
  • Generated nearly $130 million at the box office
  • Seen by over 10 million people  
  • Earned a perfect A+ CinemaScore and audience rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
  • Achieved “mission impossible” by beating “Indiana Jones” and “Mission Impossible” at the box office 
  • Supported a movement that has inspired the rescue of thousands of children

An open letter has been penned to express gratitude and recognition to these courageous leaders who contributed to the movie's triumph and enabled it to fulfill its crucial mission — to raise awareness about the abhorrent reality of child trafficking. The Ambassadors' unwavering support has galvanized an army of individuals committed to fighting for the liberation of the estimated 2 million children currently enslaved and subjected to multiple daily instances of sexual exploitation.

"Sound of Freedom" is not just a movie; it's a movement to free millions of innocent lives from the clutches of modern-day slavery. Already, this movement has led to the successful rescue of thousands of children from unimaginable suffering and abuse.

The open letter also invites leaders from all walks of life, including U.S. President Joe Biden, Congress members, Supreme Court Justices, global dignitaries, celebrities and influential community leaders worldwide, to join the ranks of the "Ambassadors of Freedom" and stand united against child trafficking. It includes heartfelt videos made by some of the esteemed Ambassadors of Freedom, passionately promoting the life-saving mission of "Sound of Freedom." These videos confirm the film's impact and validate the urgent need to address the global crisis of child trafficking.

Thousands of Ambassadors of Freedom have selflessly engaged in helping to promote this mission. Among them, many have shared their thoughts on this worldwide crisis. Click the links to see their videos and hear what they have to say.
