Angel Studios' Revolutionary Pay-it-Forward Model
The vast majority of people who will watch this film will not be personally impacted by trafficking. This could potentially make people feel more isolated and helpless, wondering "what can I possibly do to help?" The mission of this film, and Angel Studios' role in distributing it, is to spread worldwide awareness about the horrors of human trafficking. If we're going to spread awareness, that means getting as many people as possible to go to theaters and watch this film.
One way to do that is through Angel Studios' Pay it Forward ticket model. When viewers Pay it Forward forSound of Freedom, they are covering the cost of actual movie tickets for someone who would not otherwise be able to see the film. By Paying it Forward, viewers help bring this powerful message to people everywhere. This will be available in the UK and Ireland later this year
