Sound of Freedom Movie Review and Marketing

The film Sound of Freedom is reviewed as a successful example of a crowdfunded project that bypassed traditional Hollywood gatekeepers. The marketing strategy, which suggests "elites" do not want the public to see the film, is compared to the guerrilla marketing of The Blair Witch Project. The host notes that while the film is well-acted and based on the true story of Tim Ballard, it does not contain the QAnon-adjacent theories often attributed to it by critics.
