Selena Quintanilla was murdered 30 years ago, but that’s far from the most important part of her story. @TexasObserver’s Francesca D'Annunzio reviews a new documentary, “Selena y Los Dinos,” which stitches together old camcorder footage, archival interviews with Selena and new conversations with her family members. “As for the woman who murdered Selena in 1995, the film essentially ignores her altogether. The film’s exploration of the loss of Selena’s life focused on the family’s grief and the late singer’s legacy,” writes D’Annunzio.
