About Molokai: la isla maldita
Kingdom of Hawaii, 1866. Fearful that leprosy would spread throughout the archipelago, the king banishes the sick to the island of Molokai. In 1873, the Belgian Catholic missionary Damien de Veuster arrives on the island to help improve the lives of its unfortunate inhabitants.
Directed by Luis Lucia, Molokai: la isla maldita leans on a strong ensemble — Javier Escrivá, Roberto Camardiel, Gérard Tichy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1959.
