A rousing, fact based story of high school principal Joe Clark, who armed himself with a bullhorn and a Louisville Slugger and slammed the door on losers at Eastside High in Paterson, New Jersey. Brought in as a last hope to save the school, he chained the doors shutto keep trouble-makers out and strivers in. Parents fought him. Teachers fought him. But lots of kids loved him. Clark turned Eastside around, becoming a national symbol of tough-love education.
