Senna is a 2010 documentary film that depicts the life and death of Brazilian motor-racing champion Ayrton Senna, directed by Asif Kapadia.[4] The film was produced by StudioCanal, Working Title Films, and Midfield Films, and was distributed by the parent company of the latter two production companies, Universal Pictures.
The film's narrative focuses on Senna's racing career in Formula One, from his debut in the 1984 Brazilian Grand Prix to his death in an accident at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, with particular emphasis on his rivalry with fellow driver Alain Prost. Unlike a traditional documentary, it has no formal commentary or retrospective "talking head" interviews, and relies primarily on archival racetrack and broadcast news footage, voiceover narration, and home video clips provided by the Senna family.
Senna was acclaimed by critics. At the 65th British Academy Film Awards, it won two BAFTAs for Best Documentary and Best Editing, and also received a nomination for Outstanding British Film.
