Overview
- Selena y Los Dinos: A Family’s Legacy is now streaming on Netflix, directed by Isabel Castro with Selena’s siblings Suzette Quintanilla and A.B. Quintanilla III as executive producers.
- The documentary is built from the Quintanilla family’s extensive “vault” of home videos, photos, and interviews, a years‑long cataloging effort that earned Sundance’s Special Jury Award for Archival Storytelling.
- The film intentionally emphasizes Selena’s life and creative vision rather than detailing the 1995 murder, presenting a personal portrait through family and band interviews.
- Media coverage tied to the release has resurfaced the official 1995 autopsy findings, which state Selena died from massive bleeding after a gunshot entered her back, damaged the upper lung, and severely injured the subclavian artery.
- Yolanda Saldívar, convicted of first‑degree murder in 1995 and serving a life sentence in Texas, was denied parole in March 2025 and will next be eligible in 2030.
