The world knows Selena's unforgettable story as the Queen of Tejano Music--but only the Quintanillas truly knew her. For the first time, the family behind Selena y Los Dinos opens their personal archives to share her story as it's never been told. From director Isabel Castro (Mija), Selena y Los Dinos reveals the stunning origin and meteoric rise of Selena Quintanilla through the voices of those closest to her--her parents, Marcella and Abraham, sister Suzette, brother A.B. III, husband Chris, and bandmates. The documentary tracks the family's origins from dinnertime performances at their Tex Mex restaurant in Lake Jackson to their hard-won ascendence to the top of Tejano charts as the world began to recognize Selena's undeniable talent and sparkling charm. Using never-before-seen footage, including home videos that reveal Selena in a new light as a sister, daughter, and wife, Selena y Los Dinos tells the story of a family band and its superstar vocalist who broke down the walls between regional Tejano music and mainstream charts--all in the way she was raised: as a Quintanilla.
