Sunday night, October 11th at 7PM, PBS Hawaii will encore the Peabody award-winning television drama Damien, produced by the station in 1977 and broadcast on PBS stations across the country in January of 1978. Now more than 30 years later, PBS Hawaii and Pacific Islanders in Communications (PIC) will co-present the program for national broadcast on PBS member stations.

The popular PBS Hawaii series Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox will present original programs for four consecutive evenings at 7:30PM beginning Monday, October 12th. Wilcox talks with four of the remaining patients who think of Damien as a continuing presence in their prayers, conversations and lives.

On Thursday night at 8PM immediately following the special Long Story Short from Kalaupapa, Insights on PBS Hawaii will explore the future of Kalaupapa. When the last patients pass away, will Kalaupapa become a National Park? How will the village change? How would the National Park Service honor Father Damien? Should Kalaupapa be turned over to Hawaiian Homelands as proposed by some of the patients?
