Senna is a 2010 documentary directed by Asif Kapadia that chronicles the Formula One career of Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna, from his debut in 1984 through his fatal crash at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, with particular attention to his rivalry with Alain Prost. The film is built entirely from archival race footage, home videos and contemporary interviews used as voiceover, with no on-camera talking heads, giving it the structure of a live drama rather than a conventional retrospective documentary. It won BAFTA awards for Best Documentary and Best Editing, and it is often cited as demonstrating how skillfully assembled archival material can create a fully cinematic experience even for viewers with no prior interest in its subject's sport.
