Joy Odiete, Chief Executive Officer, Blue Pictures Entertainment, the film distribution company, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday.
Idiete opined that “Sound of Freedom” was fast becoming an advocacy performance for Jim Caviezel, a renowned actor, and other members of the cast against the nefarious trade in children across the world.
“Jim Caviezel’s latest work, ‘Sound of Freedom’ is scheduled to hit the big screens from Aug.18, 2023.
“Incredible things are happening to children all over the world despite their innocence. Everyone must rise against child trafficking, and watching this film better prepares all of us for that task.
“God’s children are not for sale,” she stated.
Odiete however, noted that fans of Jim Caviezel, who spectacularly portrayed Jesus Christ in the film, “The Passion of the Christ”, are set for great times in cinemas across Nigeria and Ghana.
