Tim Ballard often tells the story that provided the inspiration for the movie 'Sound of Freedom.' But court documents seem to conflict with the version Ballard shares publicly. Here's what he has to say about the conflicting narratives.
Court records described it as a routine border stop — not based on “intel” before the fact. Buchanan was crossing the border with a child for whom he did not have identification, so Customs and Border Patrol officers searched his car and found a video containing child pornography, at which point Ballard was called to the scene.
“I can see how the reference from the Ogden speech could make the statement confusing,” Ballard subsequently told me. It was during one of these interviews that the boy gave him a dog tag with a Bible verse from 1 Timothy 6:11. Notably that is Ballard’s first name, and Ballard has said he asked directors not to include that in the film because viewers wouldn’t believe it.
