The movie
Show notes
This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew discuss the 1989 dramatized biographical film, Lean On Me. The movie stars Morgan Freeman as Joe Clark, a principal that was put in charge of a East Side High School in New Jersey to prevent it from being taken over by the state due to poor test scores. Through harsh tactics and a refusal to give up on his students, Clark inspires them to be more than they ever thought possible.
