Jim Caviezel’s new film is proving to be a box office hit in the US, but will it be released in the UK?
Sound of Freedom has become a surprise box office hit in the US, rivalling crowd-favourites such as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
The faith-based action movie about child sex trafficking was released by streaming and distribution company Angel Studios on 4th July to a $14 million theatrical debut, hooking in viewers with its plot inspired by real-life events.
Sound of Freedom stars Jim Caviezel as Tim Ballard, a former US government agent who embarks on a mission to rescue children from sex slavery in Colombia, and the film’s trailer previously gave viewers a glimpse of him quitting his job and journeying deep into the jungle, where he risks everything to free captured children.
Caviezel is joined by Oscar winner Mira Sorvino and Emmy nominee Bill Camp in the film, which was completed in 2018 but is only now getting a release.
If you’re wondering how you can watch the thriller in the UK, read on for everything you need to know.

Angel Studios acquired worldwide distribution rights for Sound of Freedom in March 2023.
“Sound of Freedom is a riveting film that shares the story of one man’s heroic efforts to rescue children from human trafficking,” said Angel Studios CEO Neal Harmon at the time.
“Through this powerful cinematic experience, we aim to amplify the growing movement to expose this heinous violation of human rights and inspire people to take action, helping their communities put an end to this modern-day slavery once and for all.”
The movie’s runtime is 131 minutes – or in other words, just over the 2-hour and 10-minute mark.
