The Heritage Foundation and Mike Howell have launched a sizable lawsuit against the Biden administration, specifically the U.S. Department of Defense, for the cancelation of the Christian film “Sound of Freedom” at a military post.
The stirring movie “Sound of Freedom” shows the terrible truth of sex trafficking and the valiant attempts to protect helpless youngsters. Two screenings at the headquarters of the United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) were initially scheduled for 2023; however, due to copyright and intellectual property regulations, these showings were abruptly canceled.

Mike Howell and the Heritage Foundation vehemently disagree with the judgment, citing a lack of openness and potential political reasons. Their lawsuit demands openness for the American people and aims to clarify whether political considerations had any effect on the cancelation.
Senator Marco Rubio calls on SOUTHCOM to reschedule screenings and demands action. Rubio reveals the film’s copyright issues and queries the real reasons for its termination in a letter dated September 2023.
The legal dispute between Mike Howell and The Heritage Foundation is more than just a quarrel about a movie screening. It reflects a general concern among conservatives about the Biden administration’s alleged surge in censorship and repression of conservative and Christian viewpoints.
The lawsuit challenges the government’s perceived overreach in concerns of free speech and religious expression while also seeking answers.
Speaking with Military Times, SOUTHCOM spokesperson Jose Ruiz defended the decision to screen the video by pointing out how the mission and authority of the command are intimately tied to the film’s primary subject matter, which is combating human trafficking in Latin America. Among them is the defense of human rights.
“The subject of the movie is something that’s of great concern to the command, in that it follows as part of its mission of countering transnational criminal organizations,” said Ruiz.
“Because of the way these transnational criminal organizations exploit migrants — the hopes of migrants — in ways that end up being serious violations to their human rights, and unfortunately in some cases lead to the deaths of the migrants.”
