About Me

If you could help cure the number one genetic killer of children in the world by buying the most award-winning film of 2007, would you do it?...
I'm the star of a documentary called "Darius Goes West: The Roll of His Life." Check me out:
With 27 film festival laurels, our film crew of 12 kids from a college town in Georgia put out the most award-winning film of 2007.
DGW just came out on DVD. We decided to remain independent, and pain-stakingly grassroots, so that $17 from each of our $20 DVDs would go straight towards researching Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, the number one genetic killer of children in the world. The other $3/$20 goes towards getting the word out on our project.
With research in mind, we've started an initiative. We will sell a million DVDs in one year. That means $17 million straight to researching DMD.
...I'll ask you again. If you could help cure the number one genetic killer of children in the world by buying the most award-winning film of 2007, would you do it?
The clock is running. Play your part. Know about it.
