Documentary about the life and death of Brazilian racing driver and three-time Formula One World Champion Ayrton Senna.
Winner of the Sundance Film Festival 2011, "Senna" is not just a tribute to perhaps the greatest racing driver ever, whose tragic death in a crash on the San Marino Grand Prix racing track in 1994 was watched live on television by 300 million people, but also witness to the emotions and complexities of the man behind the helmet.
Add a brilliant background score that truly endorses what happens on screen, and this is a film not to be missed!

A viscerally exciting and intellectually stimulating documentary. Philip French (Observer)
Shattering in the gentlest way, edited with rare care, it's an affirmation of all the bonds Senna forged in his life - with his family, colleagues, the people of Brazil. To emerge unmoved is just about inconceivable. Tim Robey (Daily Telegraph)
