Tear Jerker / Sound of Freedom

• Basically the entire first half of the movie. It opens with several children being kidnapped and shows a desperate father running down the road trying to find them. It just gets more heartwrenching from there.
• Seeing just how scared, timid and broken Miguel is when Ballard rescues him. The poor boy can't even bring himself to tell his rescuers his real name at first, offering them the "model" name he's been assigned.
• Later, when Miguel gives Ballard his sister's necklace as a way of begging him to find her.
• There's a nauseating scene where Rocío is shown being advanced on by a client. Later, we see her weeping in the bathtub and can't help but weep with her.
• Ballard is forced to watch a video of Miguel being raped so he can transcribe it as part of his job. You can see his soul being absolutely crushed with each frame.
• Vampiro's backstory, particularly his plunge into suicidal ideation after learning he was part of the child sex trafficking problem.
• The doctor confirming Miguel's history of sexual abuse.
• Miguel tells Ballard he missed his eighth birthday while trapped.
• All of the kids are stripped of their identities and given "model" names that will be used to sell them to clients. Miguel's is Teddy Bear, as he's the youngest child in his group (seven and a half at the time of his kidnapping). The only Afro-Latino boy in the group is renamed Simba, a name he objects to. He's firmly told that it's going to be his name now and he can just deal with it.
• The kids are branded with tattoos that show who owns them.
• The papá later explaining to Ballard that it's still too much for him to bear seeing his daughter's bed empty.
• After Rocío is rescued, she wakes up in the hospital to her papá. You can see on her face that she doesn't believe for a second that what she's seeing is real. It takes her several moments to accept that her family really is there.
• Rocío trying and failing to protect Miguel when they're first kidnapped.
