Phillip Hanks’ life was made for a movie. Born and raised by a single mother on Chicago’s South Side, he survived school bullies and gang violence, was hit by a truck, dodged a bullet, and recovered from a shove into the deep end of a swimming pool—all while just trying to grow up and go to school. The death of his beloved mother spurred him to do more with his life and career, and his near-death experience on the operating table reacquainted him with the Holy Father and his power.
