Thirty years after the pop star Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was murdered by Yolanda Saldívar at a hotel in Corpus Christi, Texas, Netflix is releasing a documentary about the singer, her band, and their rise to stardom.
Selena y Los Dinos features home videos, concert footage, interviews with her parents, siblings, and bandmates, and Selena’s voice via archival news video interviews. It does not get into the details of her murder, largely focusing on the history of the band.
At the time of her death—two weeks shy of her 24th birthday—Selena had won a Grammy Award, played to crowds of 60,000 people, and sold more than 1.5 million records in the U.S. and Mexico, though she’s arguably best known to English-speaking audiences for “Dreaming of You,” released posthumously .
