Molokai is the immensely moving and true story of Father Damien (David Wenham, The Bank, The Boys, Better Than Sex) a young, devout Belgian priest. Set in the late nineteenth century, Damien sees his ultimate calling as living amongst the exiled lepers of the island of Molokai. By embracing them body and soul he is able to profoundly change the lives and fates of these afflicted people that everyone else has abandoned and forgotten. Directed by acclaimed director, Paul Cox (Innocence, The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky) with an all star cast that includes Kate Ceberano, Kris Kristofferson, Leo McKern, Sam Neill and Peter O'Toole and written by Academy Award winning writer John Briley (Ghandi), Molokai is a tale of true heroism and humility, a triumph of human spirit.
