In this multi-award-winning documentary, Darius Weems, a 15-year-old living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, leaves home for the first time in his life with eleven of his best friends.  The rowdy crew sets a course for California, hoping to convince MTV to customize Darius’s wheelchair on the hit show, Pimp My Ride.   The result is a testament to the idealism of today’s youth, and a vivid portrayal of adventure, brotherhood, and the character it takes to shed light on an uncertain future.  Part revolution, part revelation, this film proves how life, even when imperfect, is always worth the ride.  (Running time: 94 minutes)
