Father Damien of Molokai | Explore Films

Hawaii may be a paradise to most, but it holds a dark secret. For centuries, thousands of natives were forcibly quarantined on a remote island because of their affliction-Hansen's Disease, more commonly known as Leprosy. Unravel the painful history of Molokai through Father Damien, who dedicated his life to helping the people who were exiled and sent to the isolated peninsula of Kalaupapa.

A person like Father Damien is a true hero,what an amazing man and an example to us all.

[@damienmontanadias]

Dude is my namesake. I'm honored to be named after such a man.

[@SexManNordin]

his name wasnt damien his name was Jozef De Veuster

[@idagenova7519]

@@SexManNordin His name in religion was Damian, so his name IS Damian. Your reply is unkind. What was Saint Marianne Cope's birth name? The name we all know her by is Saint Marianne, not Barbara Koob.

Thanks for this documentary. Very well done.

Alexandra Ocasio Cortez picked the wrong person to criticize in 2020. She not only offended Catholics, but the entire state of Hawaii as well.

[@idagenova7519]

She's such a little dummy that she most likely conflates Saint Damian with the missionaries who came over with the Conquistadores. Those Catholic missionaries also did some great work, by the way.

I'm a FAN of Mother Teresa and wrote many Poems and Songs Releasing as Cassets for the Devotees of That MOTHER of Poorest of the Poor! But i failed to Know about Great FATHER DAMIEN later on! Who dedicated his Life for the Upliftment of Poor LEPERS! BOTH are my ROLE MODELS!

"how can man allow such suffering to exist" - And exactly what do you propose?

[@rain1956]

The only comment that reflects my feelings. In our privileged modern world, we forget how harsh conditions could be in the past. The only alternative, at a time when there was no treatment, was to let it spread to everyone. My other thought is that white colonizers must have brought the disease. They were the source of the suffering. Like the colonizers of the Americas who brought diseases (and at least sometimes spread them intentionally) that killed most of the indigenous people.

[@satsumamoon]

A cure . Relief . Lethal injection.

@@satsumamoon Ahh, you took the bait. Congratulations. Shame on you, lol.

@@bigmac7077 AOC said that St Damian was another white colonialist, when in reality he gave his life side by side with the people of the islands.
