CLEMENTE explores the life, career, and lasting impact of Roberto Clemente. One of baseball’s most iconic figures, the trailblazing Puerto Rican baseball legend and humanitarian’s legacy continues to resonate across generations. As the first high-profile Latino player to play in MLB in the United States, Roberto's extraordinary career opened the door for generations of Latino baseball players to come. It is, however, Roberto’s remarkable life off the field that defined his legacy. Tickets starting at $35 to $100 for VIP. https://trustarts.org/production/103224/clemente-pittsburgh-premiere

An age where people are asking, ‘is there good in the world?’ The life and legacy of Roberto Clemente answer that question with a resounding yes. CLEMENTE is a film that reminds us that an act of kindness, no matter how small, can change the world.”
