Movie Preview: Angel Studios Boldly Weighs in on Human Migration — “I Was a Stranger”

If they’re doing exit interviews of the folks who attend their faith-based films, “Sound of Freedom” Angel Studios probably knows how old, white and rural/conservative their audience is.

Their movies are promoted in Protestant churches, after all.

But they’ve followed their most profitable film with movies celebrating those who fight back against Nazis and other heroes who embody the true teachings of Christianity.

And now they’re tempting the MAGA fundamentalist audience with a movie that humanizes people being shunned or “Disappeared” in dictatorships all over the world, from Hungary to Florida.

Omar Sy plays a human smuggler who transports Syrian refugees to Europe, for the right price, and who faces his crisis of conscience in this endeavor that preys on the desperate.
