International
Hellooooo World!
The short video above announces the Darius Goes West Foundation’s goal to sell one million DVDs. This bar is set high, but the stakes are much higher.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) affects people in every country, and we want everyone to have the opportunity to be involved in the quest for the cure so we ship internationally. We even have DVDs in PAL format for people in Great Britain or anywhere else that might use that format, but we are all out of VHS. So, if you don’t see your country represented here, you can be the first person from your country to know about it! Here are the countries that have gotten involved thus far:
If your country isn’t listed and should be please contact us at dariusgoeswest@gmail.com. Thanks for your support!
"A Classic"--The Los Angeles Times
"Certain to stir hearts."-- Variety
The Movie
Accompanied by his eleven best friends, Darius Weems, a fifteen-year-old living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), leaves home for the first time in his life. The rowdy crew sets a course for California where they hope to convince MTV to customize Darius's wheelchair on the hit show, Pimp My Ride. Darius Goes West has been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people of all ages all around the world.
The Movement
Darius Goes West is more than a film. The continuing story of Darius, his crew, and the tens of thousands of supporters they have met in their travels can be experienced on this website. This site is continually updated with short videos, blog posts, and innovative initiatives that aim to affect a cure for DMD.
