Sound of Freedom became a summer sleeper hit, earning big at the box office despite a much smaller budget than competitors from big-name franchises like Indiana Jones and Mission: Impossible. The success of the film, based on the true story of former U.S. government agent Tim Ballard's efforts to combat international child sex-trafficking, is due in part to fan support from a crowdfunding campaign.
