Father Damien was the famous pastor who visited Molokai when it was a leper colony.
Recent news has come that Father Damien is set to be canonized by the Catholic Church in October of this year.
Instead of a documentary, we watched a rendition based on the true story. Molokai: The Story of Father Damien
"He went there (to Hawaii) knowing that he could never return," The Rev. Alfred Bell, who spearheaded Damien's canonization cause, told Vatican Radio. "He suffered a lot, but he stayed."

Hi, fellow activists, my name is Jane Bark and I show films monthly at my local library in Fremont California. Coincidentally, our next film will be Power of Community, on April 18th.
I'd like to suggest our March film to you: The Loss of Liberty, which tells the story of an American Navy ship which was attacked in the Mediterranean in 1967. The US govt. delayed the rescue and threatened the survivors with court-martial if they told their story.
Do you have Community Access TV on the Big Island? This film is being shown on Oahu and Maui and we would like to show it on Hawaii if someone there could work with us. You can get more info at www.gisfilms.org Fred Shepherd is the person to talk to.
