朵瑞斯西行记

朵瑞斯，一个15岁的遗传性肌肉功能退化病(强直性肌营养不良/Duchenne型肌营养不良，简称DMD)的患者，他从未能离开自己Athens的家，在一群年轻的大学志愿者一起，他们组成了一支西行的队伍，想到洛杉矶的MTV的"Pimp My Ride"节目所在地(每期节目将挑选一名幸运观众，将他的破车翻新)，能将朵瑞斯的轮椅改装一新，实际目的是为了能利用PMR节目的媒体影响，试图让更多的人能关注DMD疾病，并为相关研究机构募集研究资金，同时也鼓励需要轮椅的残疾人更多的走出去，呼吁各种公共建筑能有位残疾人设计的通道。
　　朵瑞斯本人乐观的天性，使得周围帮助他的人都深受感染，这样一次西行让他身边的很多人都有极大的感触。
　　获得了15个影展的奖项。
　　Darius Weems, a 15-year-old with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, had never left his hometown of Athens, Georgia. In the summer of 2005, he and a group of young college students traveled across the country in a wheelchair-accessible RV to test accessibility in the United States. Their ultimate goal was to reach Los Angeles and convince MTV's hit show, "Pimp My Ride," to customize Darius's wheelchair. Along the way, they found joy, brotherhood, and the knowledge that life, even when imperfect, is always worth the ride.
