She was the rising Latina superstar who was tragically murdered at the height of her fame. Now, a new documentary looks to reflect on Selena Quintanilla's groundbreaking life and legacy as Selena y Los Dinos: A Family's Legacy hits Netflix.

Commonly known as the Queen of Tejano music, Quintanilla straddled Mexican and American identities while bringing Tejano music to mainstream audiences and winning a Grammy. 

Thirty years after she was shot dead at the age of just 23 by her fan-club manager, this feature-length movie, directed by Isabel Castro, features never-before-seen archival footage along with new interviews and insights from friends and family.

The new Selena documentary is available to stream exclusively on Netflix with any plan.
