"I became really aware of what a piece of art could do to change things. Scotland had received partial autonomy, but I think the film started the ball rolling on some stuff," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.
He added: "On the way to the premiere in Scotland the crowd was 50-deep and I couldn't believe there was so much feeling and fervour about the subject. It hit a chord, definitely."
The Scottish Parliament was set up as part of the autonomy and the citizens were permitted to deal with affairs like education, nvironment and healthcare. (ANI)
