In July 2007, supporters of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign attended the UK premier of Darius Goes West, a filmDarius DVD now on saleabout a young man from America with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Half the proceeds from the premier were donated to the charity and the documentary is now available from the US on DVD.

Having run in twenty-five film festivals and garnered substantial critical praise, Darius Goes West has already raised over $750,000 for the fight against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The film continuously raises awareness of Duchenne muscular dystrophy and imparts, as one reviewer put it, "the knowledge that life, even when imperfect, is always worth the ride."

To order, go to www.dariusgoeswest.com/film DVDs sell for $19.99 (plus shipping), with $15 of each purchase going directly to DMD research.
