Recently, U.S. Southern Command was going to screen the film for American troops. The film was relevant to their work combating human trafficking in South America. But after a leftist critic accused the film of being political propaganda, the military quickly canceled the screenings. And now, a top Republican senator is getting involved.

From The Post Millennial:

US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued a letter to the military on Wednesday demanding they "reschedule" the showing of the hit box office film Sound of Freedom "without delay." […]

"Since the concern which led to the cancelation has now been addressed, I urge you to rectify this situation and ensure that the screenings of the film be rescheduled without delay,"  Rubio wrote in the letter.

SOUTHCOM reportedly canceled the screenings by claiming they might have infringed on copyright law. Sen. Rubio did not seem to believe this excuse. Military bases screen movies on a regular basis, even at overseas bases. It would simply be a matter of securing permission from the rights holder.
