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. Along the way, they find joy, brotherhood and the knowledge that life, even when imperfect, is always worth the 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 hundreds 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.
