Adriane Galisteu’s Two-Part Ayrton Senna Documentary Premieres on HBO Max

Overview

• The two-episode series, Meu Ayrton por Adriane Galisteu, launched on November 6 on HBO Max, with installments of roughly one hour each.
• Galisteu narrates her life with Senna and revisits significant locations, with interviews from Emerson Fittipaldi, Betise Assumpção, Jacir Bergmann II and Roberto Cabrini.
• She emphasizes that the project reflects only her perspective and is not a response to Senna’s family or to previous dramatizations.
• Galisteu says revisiting the past was emotionally taxing, describing the grief as an unhealed wound that made her consider abandoning the production.
• Interviewees address longstanding friction over the family’s control of Senna’s private relationships, while Galisteu recounts post-1994 hardship and help from Antônio Carlos de Almeida Braga in Portugal.
