When a friend told me to watch Senna, I was skeptical. A documentary about a famous race car driver doesn't usually fall into the "Types of movies Kristin watches on a regular basis" list...but I trust his judgement, loaded up Netflix and was captured.
The film is fantastic. Telling the story of Ayrton Senna who won the Formula 1 championship three times (I learned this is apparently a very big deal) all through cut film clips documenting his life and career. The film is funny and never slows down and introduces newbie race car folks to a world of not only dangers adventure, but politics, rivalry and passion for a sport that is very enclosed in its own world.
