Synopsis

"No fear. No limits. No equal."

Aryton Senna’s remarkable story unfolds, charting his physical and spiritual achievements on the track and off, his quest for perfection, and the mythical status he has since attained.

SENNA, a documentary feature, spans the racing legend’s years as an F1 driver, from his opening season in 1984 to his untimely death a decade later. Far more than a film for F1 fans, SENNA reveals a remarkable story avoiding many standard documentary techniques in favour of a more cinematic approach that makes full use of astounding footage, much of which is drawn from F1 archives and is previously unseen.
