Father Damian
Very good story and sad
Excellent
I like this movie a lot. I usually cry because it is so moving. Damien (of Molokai) was my late son's confirmation name. We watched this movie together so it brings back memories.
Amazing
This movie is absolutely inspiring and hopeful. It demonstrates that through christ you can do anything, the movie is absolutely moving. It shows you how people open their hearts, and learn to love, even if its forbidden.
