In 1985, a remarkable incident unfolded near Loch Loyne in Scotland, involving Willie McRae, a prominent lawyer and ex-Vice Chairman of the Scottish National Party. Despite surviving a car crash, he was tragically discovered to have a bullet lodged in his brain. The authorities swiftly announced that the shooting was self-inflicted, but the question remains: Was it truly a suicide, or was it a state-sponsored murder?

"Firebrand" delves into every facet of this tragic event, examining the controversial political career of Willie McRae. It raises probing questions about the potential motives that could have led to his untimely demise. The documentary explores McRae's victories over the Atomic Energy Authority, his access to confidential files implicating the Scottish Judiciary and the UK's political elite, his relentless war on drugs, and his unwavering support for the Scottish National Liberation Army.

Interviews and statements from numerous individuals who were directly involved on that fateful day provide invaluable insights. The documentary also presents compelling photographic evidence that casts serious doubts on the credibility of the Crown's assertions.

Through its meticulous investigation, "Firebrand" sheds light on a complex and intriguing case, challenging the official narrative and raising important questions about the power dynamics and hidden agendas that may have played a role in McRae's tragic end. This documentary is a must-watch for anyone interested in exploring the depths of political intrigue and the darker side of history.
