A fabulous documentary of Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian Formula 1 driver in the late 80's and early 90's. With Senna as the prime character, the film features the rivalry between Senna and fellow driver Alain Prost who win 7 world championships between them in those years, the development of Formula 1 racing into a popular sport, and the politics and behind the scenes manipulations of the sport executives. All this while giving a great look into the personality of one of Brazil's most famous athletes. What makes this a great film is the quality and quantity of footage from ESPN's library that is pulled together to tell the story. I am not interested in the least in car racing and found this to a simply fabulous story.
5 stars (out of 5)
