Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
The story of life and tragic death of legendary Brazilian motor-racing champion, Ayrton Senna. Spanning the decade from his arrival in Formula One in the mid 80's, the film follows Senna's struggles both on track against his nemesis, French World Champion Alain Prost, and off it, against the politics which infest the sport.
"With images from the time, interviews, and never-before-seen scenes from the family archive, the documentary reconstructs the career of one of Brazil's and the world's greatest sportsmen, Ayrton Senna da Silva. For fans of those times who want to reminisce or for younger ones who seek to learn more about the sportsman, it's a good material. However, the documentary has its problems—such as not probing certain wounds and conflicts from Senna's life, or being attractive for those who don't care about motorsports and who, in the end, just want a good story."
