Senna

I've often though F1 was much like a soap opera and it almost has to be these days as all the drivers and their cars are the same. Senna, the life and career of Ayrton Senna shows how F1 changed in such a short amount of time, thanks to his fight against the system that let him down and unfortunately his untimely death. It also highlights the lack of character the sport has now. I remember watching the race that he crashed in, I thought I knew his story but I really didn't. Rarely does a documentary delve so successfully in to its subject matter, even if you're not into racing, this is a great story of defiance against adversity. A great documentary.
