| | | Original Title: Damiaan
| Alternate Title: Molokai: The Forbidden Island
| | | | Synopsis: | 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.Gradually, Father Damien was able to gain the trust of the lepers. Additionally, and more importantly, his cries for additional help were heard and heeded by others. The success of his appeals was unbelievably dismaying to superiors who were more interested respect and riches than reaching out to the suffering.Eventually, as expected Father Damien was also afflicted. This, however, only seemed to provide him with an even greater drive to ameliorate the conditions of his now "fellow" lepers. After collapsing during Mass, he was carried to the very hospital that he himself had established where he died. There is a touching seen when all gather to pray for him at the hospital's entrance.
Biographical feature. The true story of Father Damien, a young Belgian Catholic missionary, who worked tirelessly in Hawaii in the 19th century aiding the occupants of a leper colony on the island of Molokai. His views and ideas became well-known, to the extent that on a visit to the mainland of Honolulu which stirred up attention from the press among others, much to the chagrin of those in higher authority, Damien was informed that he could not return to Honolulu. He was destined to spend the rest of his life trying to improve conditions for the sufferers in the colony on Molokai, eventually contracting leprosy himself.
The true story of the 19th century priest who volunteered to go to the island of Molokai, to console and care for the lepers. |
