Hill

The documentary is about the racing driver Damon Hill. His father Graham Hill had been world champion twice. Damon spent his childhood in the shadow of that name. Graham Hill died in an air crash in 1975. Damon was fifteen at the time. The mark of that loss stayed with him. The film talks about it directly. Hill speaks to the camera on a darkened set. The telling at times resembles a therapy session. Home video from the family archive is cut in. The hard moments of the career come too. His team mate Ayrton Senna died on the track. His collision with Michael Schumacher in 1994 was disputed. In 1996 he won the race in Japan and took the championship. The film sets that success inside a family story. Damon Hill and Georgie Hill appear in the eighty eight minute documentary. It is a British production Alex Holmes finished in 2025.
