Darius Goes West: A Young Filmmaker and Changemaker
Check out this video from one of the young people who was a winner of the Do Something Awards which we posted about earlier this week. 19-year-old Darius Weems from Athens, GA, was born with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a genetic disorder that claimed the life of his older brother.
Knowing the rest of his life would be spent in a wheelchair, Darius and friends drove from small-town Georgia to California, hoping to convince West Coast Customs to Pimp his Ride. They decided to film their trip and made a film called “Darius Goes West.” To date, Darius has raised almost 2 million dollars for DMD research, and traveled over 100,000 miles educating Americans about his cause. Watch the powerful trailer to see clips of his journey. To support Darius and his cause, and to buy DVDs visit www.dariusgoeswest.org.
