Asif Kapadia joins Richard Vitola-Jones for a Q&A about his first feature documentary Senna, kicking off The Garden Cinema’s Summer of Sport documentary season. Covering Kapadia’s inspirations, the links with his other films Amy and Diego Maradona, and how the structure of the film brings presence and drama to the screen.

Spanning a decade of Formula One from 1984, Senna picks through archive footage to show a world where traditional driving skills are under threat from the unsporting forces of big business and technical engineering. A gifted newcomer, Senna goes from anonymity at the back of a rain-soaked debut at Monaco to three-time world champion -earning him legendary status in Brazil and igniting the hopes of a struggling population along the way.
