I have not seen it but my guess would be the pizza gate mess.
Comment on ‘Sound of Freedom’ Filmmakers: “No Single Interest Group Owns the Issue of Trafficking”

Why did it become associated with Qanon in the first place?

Nope that's not it.
So, most Qanon supporters believe in a conspiracy theory that the world's elites are running a child trafficking ring that kidnaps kids and tortures them in order to extract adrenochrome from them which is (and this part is real btw) a powerful drug with few to no side effects, but can basically only be extracted from living beings who are under extreme duress. I'm getting the impression that Tim Ballard and OUR are trying to both get the general public more incensed and outraged over child trafficking, and convince the Qanon supporters to at least support real child trafficking organizations, instead of just mouthing out about it on the internet.
The film itself isn't really tied to Qanon or anything. Jim Caviezel supports it, but that doesn't make the film any more connected to Qanon than the Mission Impossible films are to Scientology. In fact the plot of the movie doesn't align with the adrenochrome theory at all, focusing on children being trafficked into sex slavery. But there are many in the media who are secretly (or publicly) pro-pedophilia, and they've been trying to connect Qanon to the movie to make it look bad.

Gonna correct you here. Adrenochrome is not hard at all to synthesize. There is no reason to harvest it in that weird fuckin way, or even harvest it at all. Its a stupid theory written by stupid people. Everybody saw/read Fear and Loathing and thought they were an expert.
Also, one of the funders got nabbed for CP. It’s all grift dude. They are preaching from the mountain top while fuckin’ kids on the side. No one is trying to connect this to Qanon, it just is Qanon.

Adrenochrome is readily available for labs. People have tried taking it as a drug and the effects range from “nothing” to “sweating profusely with a severe headache”

QAnon adherents are obsessed with child trafficking and pedophiles and seem to see both everywhere they look, such as the nonexistent basements of pizza restaurants. (They are also deeply stupid.)

All a while finding them in their own ranks 🤷♂️
