In July 2023, the movie The Sound of Freedom became a surprise hit, grossing $250 million on a modest $14.5 million budget. Despite its success, platforms like Hulu, Disney, and Amazon refused to distribute the film, likely due to its controversial subject matter: exposing child trafficking. Critics argue the movie sensationalizes this issue and is inaccurate, though Hollywood often overlooks inaccuracies in its own productions. For example, movies frequently depict women overpowering men in combat, which is widely accepted despite its implausibility.
This raises questions about why a film highlighting a real, critical issue is labeled as controversial, while Hollywood’s typical exaggerations are accepted. Some suggest that wealthy, influential individuals control what is shown in mainstream media, suppressing content that might reveal uncomfortable truths. Surprisingly, Oprah Winfrey, a media mogul admired for her success, is rumored to be linked to this controversy, which has caused some to question her integrity.
Oprah’s empire, including her net worth of over $2 billion, has made her a role model for many. However, recent revelations suggest she may have been involved with questionable individuals and activities, tarnishing her reputation. This situation highlights the dangers of associating with the wrong people, as their influence can lead to one’s downfall.
While it’s unclear how deep Oprah’s involvement goes, the controversy surrounding The Sound of Freedom suggests that powerful elites might be working to suppress vital information. As more details emerge, the public will have to reassess who they trust and what they believe about those in power.
