Wheek for Freedom and a movie classic, Braveheart (1995)!

Does your piggy have the heart of a warrior?

Braveheart was an epic war film released in 1995 on this day, detailing the deeds of William Wallace, the legendary 13th-century Scottish warrior.

The screenplay, written by Randall Wallace, drew major inspiration from the 15th-century epic poem The Acts and Deeds of Sir William Wallace, Knight of Elderslie. Though the film’s narrative is loosely based on historical events, it weaves a fictionalized tale leading up to the First War of Scottish Independence against Edward I of England.

While visually compelling, Braveheart is infamous for its numerous historical inaccuracies —one of the most notable being the use of the belted plaid, worn in earthy tweeds by Wallace and his followers. Despite such flaws, the film sparked global interest in Scottish history and identity.

Freedom! Not just a historical conceit anymore, and the stakes are higher than ever.

Wheek! Wheek! Freedom!
