This powerful drama is the story of the saintly Fr. Damien, who in 1872 went to the island of Molokai, where lepers had been exiled to live in miserable surroundings. Damien earned the trust of the lepers, and his appeals for help resonated throughout the world. Even after Damien himself contracted leprosy he carried on working for his "fellow lepers" to the end. This big-budget feature starts David Wenham (Lord of the Rings) as Damien, Peter O'Toole, Sam Neill, Leo McKern and more.
