Description

A Celebration of Pan American Culture Through Film: Inspiring documentaries that bring the diverse stories, vibrant cultures and remarkable contributions of Pan American peoples to the screen.

With a piercing, boyish beauty, the aura of a monk, and fierce racing intelligence and competitiveness, Ayrton Senna rose to the top of Formula One racing and international superstardom. Spanning his years as an F1 driver, Senna explores the life and work of the triple world champion, his physical and spiritual achievements on the track, his quest for perfection and the mythical status he has since attained. The story unfolds as a tense thriller, and while Senna will certainly satisfy fans, those who know little about Ayrton Senna have the most to gain.

In English, Portuguese, French and Japanese, with English subtitles.


Through this series, Hot Docs is participating as a Cultural Collaboration with PANAMANIA presented by CIBC, the arts and cultural festival of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.
