An adaptation of the documentary film: The story of the ex-special agent featured in Sound of Freedom and a covert anti-trafficking mission in Haiti.
Tim Ballard left his post as a special agent for the US Department of Homeland Security to found Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.). Through this organization, Tim and his team plan undercover operations to rescue child sex trafficking victims around the world. To date, they have saved hundreds of children from horrific conditions, which Tim wasn't able to do when bound by government restrictions.
In this book incorporating photos and dialogue adapted from the documentary film of the same name, take an inside look at O.U.R., and their mission to end modern-day slavery—as you join Tim and his Special Forces team on a covert mission to Haiti where they bring a ring of sex traffickers who bribed their way out of jail to justice in Operation Toussaint.

The Operations portrayed are real.

There are no reenactments.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti

“We have a story we
love to talk about;

there is a young boy on a beach who is
throwing starfish into the ocean. An older
man approaches the young boy and says,
“Boy, what are you doing?” He says, “The
tide is low, the sun is high, and if I
don’t get them all back into the ocean
they’re going to shrivel up and die.”

The man points to the boy and says, “Look
down the beach, look down the shoreline.
There’s millions of them, or thousands of
them. There’s no way that you can get them
all back. Do you think you can really make
a difference?”

The young boy thinks for a moment, and then
just starts tossing starfish back into the
ocean. He turns to the older gentleman and
says, “I don’t know, but I know I just made
a difference for that one.”

Utah Attorney General:

Thank you very much ladies and gentleman.
Thank you. Thank you. Good morning. It’s
great to see this many of you out. Thank

you, each and every one of you who came
out today to support Utah’s efforts in the
fight against this horrible, evil institution that
we call human trafficking. There are over 40

million modern day slaves worldwide, and
thousands of them throughout the United
States. Many of you have known about this
issue, and have been fighting against it and
working here for years, some even decades.

This is an institution that’s been around since
the beginning of time, but it’s really only now
that the mainstream, the public, is starting to
gain awareness. A little over four years ago,
a dear friend of mine who was a superstar in
the law enforcement community—he was a
specialized agent with a very special set of
skills—left his law enforcement career and
everything that he knew, his pension and his
security, to start a nonprofit called Operation
Underground Railroad.

They’ve done jumps everywhere
throughout the world. They’ve rescued
kids, and then helped them get to safe
places with their aftercare programs. Tim
Ballard, are you here? Can you come
on up, so we can recognize you and
Operation Underground Railroad.
