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.”

    But it brings light to the situation, and brings the situation into conversation. Those are both good things.

    My takeaway was absolutely not that kids get to rely on some fucking military dude to come save them… And if you watch the movie and you got that I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with you.

    Just because that happens to be the sequence of events that happens in the movie, doesn’t mean you need to be so simple minded as to absorb the verbose plot as the message…
