Overview
- Director Isabel Castro opens the documentary with Selena’s 1995 RodeoHouston performance, presented through archive as a nod to the 1997 biopic’s famous intro.
- Castro and co-producer J. Daniel Torres spent about two years digitizing hundreds of hours from the Quintanilla family collection at Q Productions with help from former keyboardist Ricky Vela.
- New on-camera interviews feature Selena’s closest circle, including her parents and bandmates, with Marcella Quintanilla appearing on camera for the first time.
- The film captures intimate moments from Selena’s personal life, including guitarist Chris Pérez reading a love letter that left the crew in stunned silence.
- The project premiered at Sundance, won the U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award for Archival Storytelling, and was briefly pulled from an online screening after copyright infringement claims.
