Ballard became more of a known quantity after the release of the movie Sound of Freedom, a dramatization of his mission in which he was played by actor Jim Caviezel. Critics of the film have argued that Ballard’s claims about his accomplishments have been “dramatically overstated or without clear documentary evidence.”

    Sorry, we aren’t supposed to change headlines. Honestly, the important thing here is that this guy was a conservative icon and his movie was touted as being “suppressed” by the “woke.”

      I did not mean to diss you. My insult was fully intended for the original editor that titled the story. Sorry for not being clear.

      Thank you for following the posting rules, and for spreading this news.

      But the headline in the article is “ ‘Sound of Freedom’ Hero Resigned From Own Organization Over Shocking Sexual Misconduct Allegations: Report” so you changed it?

        No. I clicked the automatic headline thingy when I submitted the article and that’s what came up.
