Drama about a Catholic priest who went to the island in Hawaii where the lepers were exiled - Molokai. There among the outcasts he built a community and gave them dignity. He eventually contracted the disease and died from it.

This is the touching account of Father Damien who went to the Hawaiian island of Molokai in 1872 to minister to the lepers exiled in a labor colony. He became widely known as the "Apostle of the Lepers" or "The Leper Priest" because of the care and sacrifice he made for those forgotten people . Based on a true story.
