On June 27,2023, exactly a week before the nationwide premiere of Sound of Freedom, Operation Underground Railroad published Sound of Freedom: Based on A True Story (Except for the Parts That Aren’t) which tries to retcon Tim’s O.U.R. Origin Story that he has peddled for years.
It states:
Additionally, although Teddy’s sister is a person in real life, the story of Tim refusing to give up the search to find “the one,” as depicted in the film, is based on the true story of O.U.R.’s continual search for Gardy.
The children portrayed in the movie were actual survivors of trafficking. TRUE
The film depicts many different children who are shown as victims of sex trafficking. All those characters represent real people O.U.R. has rescued at one point or another. The story of the little boy, known in the movie as “Teddy,” is particularly special.
In the film, after Tim rescues Teddy, the boy gifts him a dog-tag type necklace with “Timoteo” written on it. True to the real story, the little boy’s sister had given her brother this necklace in the movie before they were separated. To them it symbolized the hope of rescue.
In real life, this happened while Tim was still an HSI Special Agent, and the little boy really did gift that necklace to Tim. On it, it has a scripture reference from 1 Timothy 6:11 and the words “Man of God” inscribed on it. It wasn’t until Tim took it home to show to his family that his son pointed out his name was on it.
“To me, call it luck, chance, coincidence, God, whatever you want to call it, it was a message,” Tim said. “That necklace symbolized a calling now to me. It meant so much and I decided, then and there, that this is it, this is what I’m called to do, this is what I’ll do for the rest of my life.”
Additionally, although Teddy’s sister is a person in real life, the story of Tim refusing to give up the search to find “the one,” as depicted in the film, is based on the true story of O.U.R.’s continual search for Gardy.
This is huge. O.U.R. admits that Tim Ballard made up the kidnappings and lied about the necklace story and Columbian rescue.
Does the public get an apology? Do trafficking victims? Will some donors get a refund if they feel they were misled by Operation Underground Railroad and its founder Tim Ballard?
so the big lie is that he didn't know the necklace had his name on it until after he took it home?
