Movie Description
The story of William Wallace has remained shrouded in mystery, due to that fact that much official history was written by Wallace's enemies, the British. Here, the events presented in Mel Gibson's film BRAVEHEART are examined in an effort to separate truth from fiction, revisiting the Scotland of over 800 years ago, a place beset by conflict and driven by rebellion. When King Edward I assumed sovereignty of Scotland, he underestimated the determination with which his efforts would be fought, and at the forefront of the Scottish uprising was William Wallace. An enormous man well-schooled in the fighting arts, Wallace was motivated not only by his sense of justice, but by a personal vendetta: his father was killed at the hands of a British knight, whom the warrior eventually fought and killed. Beginning with his nebulous early years, the documentary follows Wallace as his movement gains momentum, ultimately leading to a face-off with King Edward himself. Braveheart's tragic capture and gruesome death only added to the grandiosity of his legend, the historical veracity of which is determined here.

    let me begin with saying Braveheart is one of my all time favorite movies. After watching it a dozen or two times I began to wonder if it is true and to what extent. So I watched this, The History channel did a good job on helping to tell you that it IS loosely based on an actual person, William Wallace. The problem they explain is, it was so long ago there is no great amount of written information to be able to determine the true facts. Most of the written history was written by the English, his enemy, and its not often that an enemy writes too much info about his enemy. And if he does it is twisted to make the other look bad. What we do know is he did fight the english, was killed and quartered by them. This movie about him is credited with helping the Scotland people build a new sense of Pride in themselves.

    This is a very informative documentary and is worth a look.
