What Do Goya Foods and “Sound of Freedom” Have in Common? An Executive Producer.

I knew I loved Goya. Not only do they make delicious food, but they also hate pedophiles. #Winning.

Turns out, the one and only Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods, served as the executive producer of “Sound of Freedom.”

A press release by Goya Cares stated:

“’Although Tim Ballard, played by Jim Caviezel, saved many children, his focus on the mission to save one child, Rocio, is like the parable of the Lost Sheep, where the Good Shepherd leaves his flock to find one lost sheep.  Indeed, every life has value and purpose. The SOUND OF FREEDOM brings this truth to light,’ said Bob Unanue, President and CEO of Goya Foods, and Executive Producer of SOUND OF FREEDOM.”

PREACH, BOB. PREACH.

The press release continues:

Goya Cares, inspired by THE SOUND OF FREEDOM, is a global initiative dedicated to combating child trafficking and educating on child mental health.  The initiative brings together organizations, schools, and businesses to show solidarity and ultimately to protect the most vulnerable, our children.  Partners of the Goya Cares coalition help to recover, restore, and reunite survivors, while also helping raise awareness and provide schools with free access to preventative education that helps recognize the dangers of child trafficking through the Goya Cares’ educational series LIGHT.”

I had no idea that Goya was so involved with the film, and I have to say it is refreshing to see a large corporation help an indie film with such a powerful Christian message get made.

I haven’t seen “Sound of Freedom” yet, but when I do, I’ll be sure to enjoy the film while eating some delicious Goya rice.
