The true story of the 19th century priest who volunteered to go to the island of Molokai, to console and care for the lepers

Exile to Molokai was the means with which leprosy was dealt with in the Hawaiian Islands during the late 1800s. Molokai was an untamed isle located between the islands of Oahu and Maui. Abandoned for all extents and purposes, the lepers attempted to scrape out a living in their squalor without outside aid or care. Enter the courageous Father Damien. He was the first priest to go to Molokai. And even though his bishop strictly warned him that "he must not touch anyone," Father Damien risked his life and health to reach out to the suffering.

  • it is very nice movie very inspiring the life of fr. damien

  • @arbonac So when someone sneezes you have to say "May God bless you" instead of "God bless you"? or "Bless you?" Because YOU have no power to bless, right? SHUT THE FUCK UP you dumb arrogant shit! You're DUMB. Stop faking intelligence.

  • I never knew this film had such as cast!!!

  • Belgium, the supporter of terorism.

  • Well, now I'm proud to be a Belgian.

  • In Hawaii we shame the memory of Father Damien by doing much worse than exiling lepers to Molokai--we kill unborn children before they can draw a breath. These are our new lepers, totally rejected by their mothers, society, and the government. In St. Damien's name, we must end this crime against humanity now!
