Senna
(2010) PG-13 - 105 minutes
This fast-paced documentary profiles Ayrton Senna, one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One racing, and a hero in his native Brazil. Using only archival footage, director Asif Kapadia examines the idealistic Senna’s inspiring legend. Charismatic, compassionate and a dedicated risk-taker, Senna was known for his integrity in a sport often fraught with cutthroat politics, and also for the deep religious faith that gave him purpose.

Note from Ron: I once had an agreement with a girlfriend that if we ever got married and had twins, we would name one of them Ayrton and one Senna. Even if you aren’t a big racing fan, this documentary does a great job of making you understand and feel for who is possibly the greatest racing driver of all time.
I just saw the Top Gear tribute to Ayrton Senna for the third time. It still sends me chills when he talks about pushing the limits of his driving and his cars. I need to get this documentary. Stat.
