Though not a mass media film, DarÂius Goes West won 28 film fesÂtiÂval awards durÂing 2007. The movie tracks DarÂius Weems, who has Duchenne MusÂcuÂlar DysÂtroÂphy, as he travÂels across the US to get his wheelÂchair worked over by MTV’s “Pimp My Ride.” And now it has been released on DVD. The filmÂmakÂers are lookÂing to sell one milÂlion DVDs and raise $17 milÂlion for Duchenne musÂcuÂlar dysÂtroÂphy, all in order to find a treatÂment or cure. You can learn more about the film and buy a DVD here. Also watch a video clip about the movie and the fund raisÂing driÂve below. The cause is good. Have a look. Thanks Collin for the heads up on this…
