New Clemente Doc Drops Soon

Pirates legend Roberto Clemente is getting the silver screen treatment with the new documentary Clemente, which will be released on Sept. 12.

Puerto Rico-born Clemente is arguably the Pirates greatest player, but his charitable legacy off the field and his effect on Latino culture are just as memorable. The film doesn’t shy away from tough issues, shining a light on the discrimination Clemente faced, as well as digging deeper into his untimely death in a plane crash while on a humanitarian trip to Nicaragua.

The Lindsay Theater in Sewickley will show Clemente between Sept. 12-18.
