The latest project by Alejandro Monteverde is addressing the global concern about human trafficking. The ‘Sound of Freedom’ is a movie that deals with the sensitive issue of the trade of human flesh. Deeply influenced by this project, UFC President Dana White ensures the movie receives its due credit and reaches the masses. Not only he came forward to give the movie a push but also to attract attention to the “disgusting” issue that reduces human life to nothingness.

The 53-year-old recently took to his Instagram handle as he stressed the importance of the movie. The cinematic representation explores the themes of the dignity of human lives and the disregard for it. It is telling that 46% of trafficking victims are women and 34% are children. Therefore, to spread awareness about the inhumane trade, the UFC head honcho has also come up with a unique solution.

The American, in his video, said, “There is new movie out there called Sound of Freedom and it’s about human trafficking. More importantly, about the trafficking of children. This is disgusting, horrific issue that’s happening all around the world. And it’s not getting better, it’s getting worse.”

He continued, “What I’m gonna do is I’m gonna give any of my UFC employees that want to see this movie. Free tickets to go and see. And I would like to encourage other executives to do the same at their company.”

Further in the video, Mel Gibson mentioned the foremost step in eradicating the issue was awareness.

The UFC lynchpin is not the first from the combat sports world to urge watching the movie. Previously, Ryan Garcia expressed his grief and raised his voice to tackle the wicked issue. In a series of tweets, he wrote, “Time to take a real stand against this evil across the world and in the united states. We need to be louder against children s*x trafficking and pedophilia.”

Further, the boxer appealed to watch the movie to fathom the issue and also lamented about the lack of media coverage.

How did the MMA fans react to Dana White’s plea?

White’s statements struck a chord with the fans who lauded him for addressing an issue that even the media was dodging.

“Crazy that something like this becomes political and controversial… being against child trafficking shouldn’t ever be political.”

“Protect The Children At All Cost 🙏”

“Not one news media is covering it, not one athlete is speaking about it. But then there’s Uncle Dana, Man of the people! Thank you for speaking out!”
