Clemente - Director David Altrogge

Clemente is the definitive documentary on the extraordinary life, career, and enduring legacy of Major League Baseball icon Roberto Clemente. Told through stunning archival footage, never-before-heard recordings, and unprecedented interviews, the film reveals the story of a man who lived by his own uncompromising code. A double outsider—too Black for white America and too Latino for Black America—Clemente refused to stay silent in the face of racism and injustice. Through sheer determination and relentless discipline, he rose from poverty to superstardom, yet never lost sight of those on the margins. Clemente is more than a sports story; it’s a portrait of a man who gave everything—for the game and for others. A powerful, joyful reminder that a life marked by passion, courage, and empathy can truly change the world. Director David Altrogge joins us for a conversation on an all-time great baseball player and his legacy on the game he excelled at, his family, including his three sons, Roberto Clemente, Jr., Luis Roberto Clemente, Roberto Enrique Clemente, and his impact on Puerto Rico.
