President Trump met with Mel Gibson on Saturday night to discuss a strategy for ending child trafficking in America.
The meeting at UFC 290 on Saturday night comes hot on the heels of the release of the anti-child trafficking movie Sound of Freedom. Gibson has been a major promoter of the movie. “One of the most disturbing problems in our world today is human trafficking and particularly the trafficking of children” Gibson said.
UFC boss Dana White pledged, just hours earlier to pay for all of his employees to see the groundbreaking film.
Thepostmillennial.com reports: The encounter backstage at the highly anticipated UFC event created a buzz among attendees and media. Joined by Roger Stone, the meeting brought together three individuals known for their strong personalities and outspoken views, resulting in a captivating blend of politics, entertainment, and intrigue.
On Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena, President Donald Trump and UFC president Dana White made a highly visible appearance in the crowd after emerging from backstage. Trump received an electrifying welcome from a devoted crowd.
Sound of Freedom released nationwide on July 4th, made an impressive debut by topping the box office charts. The film’s innovative pay-it-forward technology, developed by Angel Studios, contributed to its success. Distributed by Angel Studios in the US, Sound of Freedom grossed over $14 million on its first day, surpassing other contenders like Disney’s “Indiana Jones,” which opened on June 30 and reportedly brought in $11.5 million, according to Deadline.
An additional $2.6 million was made thanks to the film’s innovative ticketing strategy, which used a pay-it-forward model that is still pending patent protection. Sound of Freedom made more money in one day than pre-release expectations, which predicted earnings between $11 and $15 million over a six-day period.
The true story of former government agent Tim Ballard, who quit his job to independently save children from pedophiles and human traffickers, is the basis for the movie Sound of Freedom. Based on a true story in which Ballard and his team successfully saved 123 people—including 55 children—by saving a total of 123 people, the movie depicts Ballard’s efforts to save two children and a group of over 50 others.
Actor Jim Caviezel, who plays Ballard, addresses the audience with a moving speech during the movie’s closing credits. Caviezel emphasizes the crimes and horrors of the sex trafficking industry while acknowledging the challenges the movie faced during production. Then he urges viewers to scan a QR code, which will assist in giving tickets to people who otherwise couldn’t afford them.
Neal Harmon, the CEO of Angel Studios, expressed his excitement about the movie’s success, stating, “This movie has now taken on a life of its own to become something more than that, a grassroots movement.” Harmon emphasized the importance of word-of-mouth spreading and the support of passionate fans and investors to ensure the film reaches a wider audience.
Tim Ballard, the CEO and founder of Operation Underground Railroad, which combats human trafficking globally, serves as the inspiration behind “Sound of Freedom,” capturing the early days of the organization’s work.
While there is not yet documentation as to what President Trump and Mel Gibson talked about,, it certainly adds another layer of intrigue to an already eventful weekend, blending politics, entertainment, and the ongoing success of Sound of Freedom.
