Darius Goes West: The Roll of His Life is an award-winning documentary about a teenager who sets off across the U.S. with a group of friends on a quest to get his wheelchair customized by MTV’s Pimp My Ride. Not only does the film educate us on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, but it also teaches us about the triumphs and struggles of individuals with disabilities, whether they are physical or social. “Part revolution, part revelation, this film proves to people of all ages how life, even when ‘imperfect,’ is always worth the ride.”
Join us for a free screening of this film at 10:00am on Monday, November 3rd in DCC Room (4193, Community Room), followed by a Skype session with Darius Weems, the young man that is at the center of this film, at noon in DCC room 4151.
