The saintly Fr. Damien went to the Hawaiian Islands in the late 1800's to work with the lepers confined on the island of Molokai. He died himself a leper after serving for sixteen years. Terence Knapp gives a stunning performance in this one-man television drama of Damien's great compassion for humanity and love of God. Nationally acclaimed, this film won many awards including the prestigious Peabody Award.
May we suggest another film,
Molokai, with David Wenham
May we also suggest a documentary about Fr Damien
An Uncommon Kindness, narrated by Robin Williams.
May we suggest this book about Fr Damien,
Molokai: The Story of Father Damien", by Hilde Eynikel.
