Executive produced by LeBron James and Oscar-nominee Richard Linklater, Clemente is a feature-length documentary that explores the life, career, and legacy of Roberto Clemente. Winner of the Documentary Spotlight Audience Award at SXSW, this is the story of a man who showed that a life lived with passion and conviction can truly change the world.
Roberto Clemente is one of baseball’s most iconic figures. As the first high-profile Latino player to play in Major League Baseball, Roberto’s extraordinary career opened the door for generations of Latino baseball players to come. From his childhood in Puerto Rico, to his early years of struggle with the Pittsburgh Pirates, to becoming one of baseball’s most beloved and iconic players, to his untimely death in 1972, Clemente is a celebration of a man who gave his all— both on and off the field. Featuring Rita Moreno, Michael Keaton, Francisco Lindor, Richard Linklater, Bob Costas, Tom Morello, and Yadier Molina.
