Selena Y Los Dinos
Synopsis
Along with her family band, Los Dinos, Selena Quintanilla rose from humble beginnings to sold-out stadiums. In a career cut tragically short by her murder in 1995, age just 23, the Billboard-topping Tejano pop star blazed a trail for Latino artists including J.Lo – who played Selena to acclaim in the 1997 biopic – and Bad Bunny. In Isabel Castro’s moving documentary portrait, we witness Selena’s dazzling stage presence and also meet the warm young woman behind the icon. The personal archive footage, beautifully curated by Castro, sits alongside reflections from Selena’s family, who open up for the first time in a documentary, retracing their rise and honouring her enduring legacy. A must-see for fans and newcomers alike.
