In October 2012, nine surviving Hansen's disease patients from Kalaupapa made a pilgrimage to Rome to celebrate the canonization of Saint Marianne Cope. A Sister of St. Francis, Mother Marianne arrived at Kalaupapa one year before the death of St. Damien of Moloka'i, the Belgian missionary who devoted his life to serving the lepers when few others would even dare make landfall in the settlement. Of Saints and Exiles is a feature documentary film that follows the pilgrimage to Rome, while delving into the story of an under served population that is fighting to preserve its history in the face of impending extinction. Throughout much of the 150-year history of the Kalaupapa settlement the exiles were condemned to nameless obscurity, a fact that is reinforced by the vast number of unmarked graves. As the end of the settlement grows near, the remaining residents and their kokua ("helpers") are fighting to preserve their stories and the stories of those who went before them. It has fallen on these last lepers of Kalaupapa to secure their place in history on their own terms. See less
