Winner of the Sundance World Documentary Award, this riveting story is the best sports film since the Muhammad Ali documentary When We Were Kings.Senna is a documentary with the pace of a thriller, a story of motors and machines that is beyond compelling because of the intensely human story it tells.

Brazil's Ayrton Senna was the boy genius of Formula One racing, winner of three world championships before dying in a crash in 1994 at age 34, a driver current and former Formula One racers recently voted the greatest who ever lived. Far more than a film for F1 fans, this remarkable film includes intimate home movie footage, shots taken from inside Senna's car while he was driving, and riveting footage of frequently tempestuous drivers-only meetings held before each race.
