Lean on Me is a 1989 American biographical drama film starring Morgan Freeman. It tells the story of Joe Louis Clark, a troubled and unorthodox high school principal, whose school is at risk of being taken over by the state unless students improve their basic skills test scores. To make things worse, Clark’s school is a den of drug abuse, gang violence, and urban despair. It isn’t long before Joe’s unconventional methods come into conflict with city officials, teachers, and parents, who threaten to undo all his efforts.
