The story of the monumental life and 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 struggle both on track against his nemesis, French Wold Champion Alain Prost, and off it, against the politics which infest the sport. Sublime, spiritual yet, on occasion, ruthless - Senna conquers and transcends Formula One to become a global superstar. Privately, he is humble, almost shy, and fiercely patriotic, donating millions to his native Brazil, and contemplating a life beyond motor-racing. Yet he is struck down in his prime on the blackest weekend in the history of the sport, watched live on TV by 300 million people. Years on he is revered in Formula One as the greatest motor-racing driver of all time, and in Brazil a saint. Written by Anonymous.
A beautiful documentary on an amazing driver. Troy and I watched this driving across country and will watch it over and over again. Amazing footage of Formula One racing in the 80's and 90's, but more importantly a film about a great man.
Love and gratitude....
