Recent remarks by actor-director Mel Gibson have ignited a public outcry against media mogul Oprah Winfrey, alleging her involvement in a covert agenda tied to the film “Sound of Freedom.” The controversy has sparked widespread debate over the validity of Gibson’s claims.
“Sound of Freedom,” released in 2020, chronicles the true story of Tim Ballard, a former government operative turned humanitarian, who founded Operation Underground Railroad to combat global human trafficking. Gibson, an executive producer of the film, passionately supported its production and cause.
Gibson’s assertions suggest that Oprah Winfrey may be exploiting the sensitive issue of human trafficking to advance personal ideological and political objectives. Critics argue that Gibson’s accusations lack substantiation, particularly given Oprah’s extensive record of advocacy for social justice, including efforts against human trafficking on her influential platform, “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
