I met Tim Ballard when I interviewed him in 2017 and have contributed to his organization ever since. My wife & I saw the movie a couple weeks ago, and there is nothing fictional about the rescue of those kids on the island. Ballard went into great detail about it when I sat down with him, and the film's depiction lines up 100% with what Ballard disclosed to me 6 years ago. As for your cherry-picked highlight, the realities & the cockroaches confronted by his organization are more horrific than any fiction any screenwriter could ever invent. And then there's your source - relying on the "journalism" of Rolling Stone is laughable at best.

According to the UN, 50 million men, women & children are currently enslaved for labor, sex, and organ harvesting. That's more people enslaved than the height of the Roman Empire and the entirety of the transatlantic slave trade combined. More people enslaved - in the here and now - than at any point in human history. You can't be so naïve to believe "creative liberties" were taken to make it look worse than it really is. If anything, they toned it down - waaayyy down.

Here's how CBS reported on the island rescue in 2014.

(WGHP) — A man at the center of a film currently making waves in theaters has apparently left the human trafficking organization that made him famous.

Operation Underground Railroad confirmed to FOX8 Thursday that Tim Ballard was no longer working with the organization. According to VICE News reporters Anna Merlan and Tim Marchman, Ballard had told at least one donor that he had been “forced out.”

snips:

'VICE notes that Ballard had not mentioned stepping away from OUR during his press tour promoting the movie with Caviezel.'

"VICE News reported that “a number of OUR’s claims about its work are dramatically overstated or without clear documentary evidence. People who have volunteered for OUR have raised concerns that it could actually have been creating demand for trafficking victims, by going to foreign countries on undercover “missions” that, at times, have seemed to consist of walking around bars and sex clubs asking for underage girls. The organization’s support for law enforcement has at times been wildly exaggerated and involved OUR taking credit for agencies’ operations after making relatively trivial donations, and its much-touted aftercare program for survivors has at times involved things like placing women with unqualified providers and even fabricating a college graduation ceremony.”

In addition to the group’s spurious, difficult-to-prove claims about their methods and impact on human trafficking victims, Caviezel’s connections to the QAnon conspiracy theory have come to the forefront during the press tour. He was recently seen on Steve Bannon’s podcast discussing the harvesting of adrenochrome, a core tenant of QAnon’s esoteric beliefs, where they allege that a cabal of elites is trafficking children to harvest adrenochrome to use in rituals'.

Saw it today. Very good movie, and not just because its a true story, though that did make it even better.

 

Here's an interview with the producer of the movie.

The movie dares to point out issues liberals would rather pretend doesn’t exist at all. So they trash it. Shocking.

 

The people who saw it rated the movie 100% positive.
