This documentary covers the unparallel
and legendary life and the tragic death of the Brazil born greatest sportsman
and the most amazing Formulae one racing driver the world has ever seeing,
Ayarton Senna. Starting his driving life from pro carts and winning 3 world
championships before his untimely death at the age of 34 in 1994, Senna has
done what many would say impossible more than once.
This film follows Senna’s racing
career very closely with ample footage from the past starting from the 80’s
including news and TV footage and family videos. And it gives a deep insight to
the rivalry he faced from the great French co team mate Allen Prost and the
struggle he had to put upon the F1 committee at times where his actions were
condemned and resulted in suspension from the track.
When you dive in to half of this
wonderful film, you will start to realize what a wonderful sportsman Senna was
on the track and equally or beyond a normal person off the track. Senna was a
great patriot who bought laughter to millions of his fans from Brazil, in a
time where the country had no hope and engulfed in political instability and
poverty. Privately very humble to his beginnings and sometimes shy he donated
ample to the benefit of his fellow men.
Not just a hero in Brazil but
Senna soon becomes the most muttered name in the world of racing where at times
he is treated like a god more than a super star. Though he cheats death many
times and fearlessly believed in the supreme power of god, his life tragically comes
to an end at the peak of his career with a fatal crash. As the whole world lies
speechless with tears filled in their eyes and memories of the greatest driver
they have ever known, Senna’ s life story ends way before anyone expected.
This documentary is simply
touching. And it will touch your deepest corner of the heart not just because
it’s a good production but because Senna himself is an eternal flame.
