My wife and I saw "Sound of Freedom" yesterday at a mid-day showing. Theaters at that time of day (in our experience) draw maybe 10 to 20 people... but there might have been 60 in the theater yesterday, most interesting. Older people but a smattering of young folks. After the movie, there was very little chatter as we exited the theater...mostly a somber silence.
Excellent movie, by the way, beautiful music and filmed in a gritty realistic way. I served in the military in Panama and (ahem!) "other places" where I was not supposed to be, officially, and the scenes set in Honduras and Cartagena, Colombia were VERY realistic.
Kudos to everyone involved in making "SOF" and getting it released.
Movie magic and filming on location combined as tools for getting the right scenes to support the narrative at hand have come a long way of course, and are a really fascinating history to read about in themselves. The skills this profession employs are incredible.

Since you mention it: Interesting acronym — SOF.
Yeah, it wasn't accidental. If you know, you know. Drug interdiction and intel gathering. Too old for that shit now.
