Singer Jewel spoke out in support of the box office hit “Sound of freedom” film on child sex trafficking despite its critics.
On Monday, Jewel posted a video in response to a month-old tweet written by Twitter owner Elon Musk who recommended the Angel Studios film be streamed on the platform for a short time.
“It saddens me that some media is trying to politicize this movie. This is not left or right,” the “Foolish Games” singer wrote in the caption.
She added, “It’s about millions of kids being trafficked, and no matter what your faith or creed, we need to protect all the vulnerable kids rather than fight over philosophical differences.”
In her viral video, Jewel gave the film a rave review and urged her followers to see it.
“I’m so verklempt,” she said of her reaction to the film.
Jewel continued to praise the inspiring movie, made by a few friends of hers, and revealed it had been in production for “years.”
“Did you know that there are millions of children in slavery? This is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise, and the amount of children enslaved right now is greater than all 300 years of the transatlantic slave trade,” she explained.
She added, “What the actual eff?”
When describing the film, inspired by former federal agent Tim Ballard, Jewel shared, “This is a true story about a man who just doesn’t give up on a child.”
