Lean on Pete

A deeply moving story about love, loneliness, family, and friendship, told through the unique prism of the connection between a boy that grows up with his single father and a very special racehorse that is saved from slaughter. A compassionate and heartrending look at the desire for love, family, and acceptance that drives all of us.
