Texans have many things in common, and one of them is the love we have for Selena Quintanilla and her impact on the state.

Selena's impact stretches farther than the Lone Star State. She was loved by so many around the world. When I was first introduced to Selena around the age of 4, I was instantly enamored. Even though we don't look alike I was amazed to see "a girl like me" singing and dancing on stage.

When she was murdered too soon at the age of 23 by Yolanda Saldivar, I felt like her light was taken from this world too soon.

SELENA Y LOS DINOS

This year the Sundance Film Festival will premiere a new documentary with never-before-seen footage of Selena Quintanilla. The documentary Selena Y Los Dinos will show Selena's journey from performing at quinceñeras to sold-out stadiums.

Director  Isabel Castro catches Selena's exuberance, humility, and the bond she shared with her family in the film. The documentary includes home videos that take us back to the 1990s, giving everyone a peek into their lives on tour. Interviews with people close to Selena tell the passion and sacrifice behind the rise to the top.

Isabel Castro gives us an intimate view of Selena's legacy.

The 2025 Sundance Film Festival will be from January 23rd to February 2nd in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah. If you don't have any plans on being in Utah this month, the public will be able to watch the film online from January 30th through February 2nd.
