I grew up in Washington DC , just a few blocks from the major U S seminary of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This was Father Damien's order. Many of the priests and brothers I met there had been stationed on Molokai. Although he had been dead for many many years, his spirit and memory were very much still alive there. For some reason I never knew about his movie until just recently. I see where many reviewers have scored it very low. I can that since it is not great cinema art etc.However, I judge it only by how much it tells me about St. Damien and how many tears I shed watching. There were many.
