Child abuse is one of society’s most sensitive and polarizing issues. Films that tackle it must carefully navigate between storytelling and advocacy for the victim. While the universal condemnation of child abuse is clear, debates often emerge around the gray areas of parenting, discipline, and intervention. Stories focused on child trafficking, such as “Sound of Freedom,” avoid this by shining an urgent light on a heinous crime.
