evidence: The film, titled Sound of Freedom, has been accompanied by a fusillade of laudatory statements from personalities including Mel Gibson, who Ballard claims gave OUR "valuable intelligence" that led to the group and its partners breaking up a pedophile ring in Ukraine, motivational speaker and longtime OUR backer Tony Robbins, and Matt Schlapp, the chair of the Conservative Political Action Conference. (CPAC now claims to have its own anti-trafficking arm as well.) It’s also getting approving write-ups from faith-based publications like Catholic World Report and The Christian Post. All of this is probably helping drive pre-sales. The film, which is being marketed directly to religious audiences as the film Hollywood doesn’t want them to see in something like the way the record-setting Passion of the Christ was, reportedly saw an impressive $10 million in gross sales before even opening. More usefully, perhaps, for OUR, many of the writeups about the film gloss over OUR’s long history of exaggeration and misrepresentation, helpfully bolstering the organization’s tallest tales about itself.
