She also has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime with a focus on human trafficking since 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Sorvino told the Washington Examiner that she was drawn to the film because she has \u201cmet so many child survivors and my heart burns for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThey all have the capacity to rebound,\u201d Sorvino explained, speaking of trafficking victims. \u201cThat is what I\u2019ve learned over all these years of meeting all these tremendously brave and earnest and honest survivors is that they\u2019re all ready to take their lives back. All they need is for us to get involved enough to help them do it. Right now only 0.4% of human trafficking victims are ever discovered and either rescued or exited themselves. We all have to do more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sorvino called for an end to the commercialization of sex, as it \u201ccreates a marketplace for the sale of trafficked human beings.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf you buy it you\u2019re creating that marketplace where traffickers bring their human wares to sell,\u201d she said, adding that coming-of-age and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sound-of-freedom-actress-mira-sorvino-my-heart-burns-to-end-sex-trafficking\/\" title=\"Mira Sorvino, actress in Sound of Freedom, passionately fights to end sex trafficking.\">bachelor party celebrations<\/a> must refrain from its use.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe mind becomes more and more deranged,\u201d Sorvino added. \u201cThe appetite grows upon feeding, right? Addiction craves more and more depravity \u2014 in sex addiction. We just can\u2019t accept it anymore. We can\u2019t let sweet children of the world be exploited in this way and hurt in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A Call to Action<\/h3>\n<p>Sound of Freedom distributor Angel Studios has called for two million people to purchase tickets and attend the film in theaters to represent the two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sound-of-freedom-film-looks-to-fill-2-million-theater-seats-for-the-worlds-2-million-trafficked-children\/\" title=\"Sound of Freedom film aims to fill 2M theater seats for 2M trafficked children worldwide.\">million trafficked children<\/a> across the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cDuring the 1800s Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote <i>Uncle Tom\u2019s Cabin<\/i> and it became the best-selling book of the 1800s, and that book was credited by Abraham Lincoln for ending slavery,\u201d Angel Studios Chief Content Officer Jeff Harmon told the Washington Examiner. \u201cOur hope is that this movie can be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hollywood-directors-guild-condemns-georgia-law-as-voter-suppression\/\" title=\"HOLLYWOOD: Director\u2019s Guild Condemns Georgia Law As \u2018Voter Suppression\u2019\">modern-day version<\/a> of <i>Uncle Tom\u2019s Cabin<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Angel Studio President Jordan Harmon added that they believe the film \u201cwill not only be a movement for the world to end child trafficking, but hopefully help people understand that our mission is to tell stories that are going to impact culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film also features Jim Caviezel from <i>The Passion of the Christ<\/i> and Bill Camp from <i>12 Years a Slave<\/i>.
