Sound of Freedom likewise shines a light on some of the insidious tactics employed by human traffickers.
This is seen with the character Giselle, portrayed by Yessica Borroto. In the very beginning, viewers watch Borroto’s Giselle luring young kids in from their parents, under the phony guise of her being a child talent recruiter.
