Miami, FL, November 10, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– The production team behind Hidden War has unveiled the official trailer for the film, setting the stage for its nationwide theatrical debut on November 14, 2025.
Hidden War, featuring activist Tim Ballard’s efforts against international child trafficking, serves as a direct follow-up to the 2023 film Sound of Freedom, which highlighted his initial undercover operations through Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.). While Sound of Freedom focused on Ballard’s work in Colombia and the broader fight against sex trafficking, Hidden War extends this narrative to operations in war-torn regions like Ukraine, Ecuador, and Mexico, documenting rescues amid global conflicts and exposing how displaced children become targets for exploitation.
The film’s release on November 14, 2025, comes amid reports of resistance from some cinema chains, echoing the grassroots momentum that propelled Sound of Freedom to over $250 million in worldwide box office success despite initial distribution challenges. Ballard, portrayed by Jim Caviezel in the earlier film, continues his advocacy, emphasizing the ongoing scale of the issue where more children are enslaved today than at any point in history.
Tim Ballard noted, “Films like Hidden War build on the awareness raised by Sound of Freedom to challenge institutional silence on child exploitation. Our goal remains delivering these stories to foster real change in communities affected by trafficking.”
To support wider access, audiences are encouraged to contact their local cinemas and request screenings of Hidden War for the November 14 debut.

Los Angeles, CA, October 31, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Independent filmmaker, producer, and creative visionary Jeffrey Ikahn today announced the upcoming release of his new feature film Candy Flip (2026), alongside several technology ventures designed to reshape how audiences and creators connect online. Ikahn’s dual focus on storytelling and innovation positions him at the intersection of film, social engagement, and the evolving digital frontier.
Candy Flip is a “dramady” feature produced through Argonaut Media Group, Latigo Films in association with Handshake Partners Entertainment and directed by Ikahn.
The film stars Matt Rife, Cole Carter, Jessica Belkin, and Danielle Loving.
Set amid the electric chaos of an exclusive influencer party in Los Angeles, Candy Flip follows a night where fame, illusion, and reality collide. When a group of social media stars and creative elites experiment with a candy-flip — the potent fusion of LSD and MDMA — their euphoric escape turns into an existential free fall. As the night unfolds, filters fade and facades fracture. Beneath the glitter and neon, each character confronts the truth they’ve been performing to avoid: their doubt, loneliness, and desperate need to be seen.
The main character’s trip becomes a descent into self-awareness — a fever dream of memories, fears, and fantasies colliding in hallucinatory clarity. Surrounded by peers who live for attention but starve for connection, they begin to question what’s real, what’s curated, and what remains when the likes disappear. In the chaos of their shared unraveling, egos dissolve, alliances crumble, and a profound realization emerges: sometimes, you have to lose your identity to find your humanity.
“Storytelling has always been about connection,” said Ikahn. “As technology evolves, so should the ways we share those stories — whether through film, social platforms, or entirely new mediums.”
In addition to his filmmaking career, Ikahn is currently building technology companies in the social and media space, developing platforms that empower independent artists, creators, and filmmakers to grow authentic audiences and monetize their creative influence. His work integrates art, entrepreneurship, and innovation — shaping how culture, content, and connection intersect.
Ikahn’s mission with Argonaut Media Group and his upcoming ventures is to bridge the worlds of entertainment and technology — empowering creators to tell impactful stories and audiences to experience them in transformative new ways.
