  • "This powerful drama is the story of Damien, who in 1872 went to the island of Molokai, where those suffering from leprosy had been exiled and forced to live in miserable surroundings, abandoned from the outside world. Little by little, Damien earned the trust of the lepers, and eventually, his appeals for workers and supplies resonated throughout the world. Even after Damien got sick himself, his energy did not abate, and he carried on working for the well-being of his "fellow lepers" to the end."@en

  • "Paul Cox\U+2019\s ambitious portrait, the true story of a 19th century priest who volunteered to go to the island of Molokai, to console and care for the lepers. In the 1800s, leprosy has become such a scourge in Hawaii that Prime Minister Gibson (Sam Neill) banishes the afflicted to the island of Molokai. When Bishop Maigret (Leo McKern) and Father Fouesnel (Derek Jacobi) request a priest for these lost souls, Father Damien (David Wenham) volunteers. Father Damien is in for a rude awakening when he arrives on Molokai: He imagined he'd be consoling the afflicted, not dealing with rampant lawlessness and zero medical care. After fixing up a chapel, he shutters a whore house and reopens it as an infirmary. During years of tending his flock, Father Damien risks his own health by reaching out to the infected and inevitably contracts leprosy himself."
