    I finally got around to watching the British documentary 'Senna', which just arrived on Netflix instant. The film, about Brazil's legendary Formula One racing driver, Ayton Senna, was shot solely using archival footage and home videos from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Drama and suspense are built by allowing us to ride along in helmet cams and helicopter footage on location. It's an emotional look at a man's fierce competitiveness and love of the sport. His dedication to Brazil and overall benign disposition made him an icon to his people. You don't need to be a racing fan to enjoy it; everyone will walk away with a valuable lesson in character.

    • The helicopter shots and the music.... I usually don't like documentaries but this was great.clearThoughts
