Film: Senna Directed by Asif Kapadia

A documentary film that was getting rave reviews even by non motorsport critics.

The film uses extensive archive footage to piece together the personality of Senna and what motivated him. There is plenty of motor racing footage, but also lots of interview converage that touch on the causes he supported outside of motorsport.

Of course he was adored in Brazil, a ray of light during difficult times.

The film finishes with a 20 minute weekend coverage of Imola and his eventual death, but does dwell on this or dig into the technical details of why things may have occurred.

Great documentary.
