Publicado no Youtube em 7 de março de 2014, o video Letter to my children, produzido pelo Cine Povero, traz-nos excertos do poema “Carta a Meus filhos sobre os fuzilamentos de Goya” (na tradução de Richard Zenith) entrelaçados com os graffiti de Banksy sobre um fundo de música eletrônica. Trabalho inovador excepcional, que bem comprova a atualidade de Sena e a potencialidade de sua obra em aceitar releituras criativas que se valem dos mais recentes recursos audiovisuais.
