Senna is a 2010 documentary film. It is Asif Kapadia's fourth feature film as director. It is distributed by Working Title / Universal Pictures. The film is about the life and death of Brazilian motor-racing champion, Ayrton Senna.
The film starts from Senna's arrival in Formula One in the mid 1980s, and follows Senna's struggles both on track against his rival, French World Champion Alain Prost, and off it, against the internal politics of the sport. In the film, Senna is presented as sublime, spiritual and, on occasion, ruthless: Senna conquers and transcends Formula One to become a global superstar. In the film, Senna is represented to be in private, humble and fiercely patriotic, donating millions to his native Brazil and contemplating a life beyond motor racing. Tragically he is struck down in his prime at Imola on the blackest weekend in the history of the sport, watched live on television by 300 million people. Years on he is revered in Formula One as the greatest motor racing driver of all time – and in Brazil as a Saint.
Senna will be released in Australia on August 11th, 2011.
