On May 1, 1994, Roberto Cabrini announced the death of Ayrton Senna on national television and, since then, has never stopped investigating the facts related to the fatal accident that occurred at the Formula 1 San Marino Grand Prix. Three decades later, RECORD and PlayPlus present a special documentary by the journalist with the most complete production ever made to date about the days leading up to one of the most remarkable events in the history of Brazilian sports.

The remarkable story of Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna, charting his physical and spiritual achievements on the track and off, his quest for perfection, and the mythical status he has since attained, is the subject of Senna, a documentary feature that spans the racing legend's years as an F1 driver, from his opening season in 1984 to his untimely death a decade later.

Most movie fans know that the first filmmakers liked to shoot trains entering stations. This example by Sussex film pioneer George Albert Smith illustrates why. The train's rush towards the audience brings movement and visual drama. The flurry of human activity offers plenty for the audience to engage with - who are these people and where are they going? And the time pressure exerted by the fact that the train must soon depart adds narrative tension - will everyone get on and off in time?
