Review of Sweet Phil from Sugar Hill

Take that old Temptations rock song "Papa was a rolling stone, Wherever he laid his hat was his home..." (was it the 70's?) and multiply it by 14, and you have an idea what this half hour is all about. Masterfully told, and at once disturbing, honest, and even inspiring, this is a powerful story. And an important one as well, giving real meaning to the words 'family' and 'grace'.
